Here are some photos from our vacation in Glacier National Park. For the first few days, heavy smoke from wildfires burning in the west side of the park made photography a big challenge. And we had rain and snow for about half of the remaining days. But we had a wonderful time hiking in the the Many Glaciers, Saint Mary, and Two Medicine areas on the east side of the park, and I still managed to take over 300 pictures. These are a few of our favorites. All of them were taken with my 10-20mm wide angle lens.

Wild Goose Island on Saint Mary Lake (Saint Mary area).

Mount Grinnell from Swiftcurrent Lake (Many Glaciers area)

Ptarmigan Falls-Iceberg Lake Trail (Many Glaciers area).

Altyn Peak from Fishercap Lake (Many Glaciers area).

Cascade below Virginia Falls (Saint Mary area). I need to work on this photo some more to pull out the beautiful blue in the pool below the cascade.

Siyeh Pass Trail on Baring Creek, above Sunrift Gorge (Many Glacier area). There are a couple of glaciers hidden in the clouds at the middle of the picture, but we’re not sure if we actually saw them. All the glaciers in the park are projected to be gone by 2030.

Two Medicine Lake from Scenic Point Trail (Two Medicine area).

High meadow on Piegan Pass Trail (Saint Mary area).
