San Angelo Library, Texas
On the NE side of Logan Pass headed for Lake St Mary. (Links to Part I & II below.)
[All Glacier NP photos taken on 7 July.]
Since the east side cooled down faster, clouds which had disippated earlier began reforming.
More clouds forming.
Panning left....
A waterfall nestled in the trees.
Like Lake McDonald, St Mary Lake is also quite large.
The mountains at the upper end of St Mary Lake have "the typical Rockies look" even though they also had much glaciation as did the more volcanic Cascades or the Sierra Nevada near the west coast.
Wind and water erosion much like what one sees in the U.S. Southwest.
One of the many ferries or excursion boats cuts across a seemingly-calm St Mary Lake.
The boat approaching its mooring place in the bay to the left looks rather small in comparison to St Mary Lake.
No simple two-ocean divide for Triple Divide Peak; rather, its slopes drain into Hudson Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
Even after sundown the view is still spectacular.
One careless cigarette or match....
Looking back toward Glacier Natl Park from near St Mary the next morn.
Panning right....
The back side of the burn seen the previous evening.
The upper end of St Mary Lake.
The north-eastern end (or outlet) of St Mary Lake.
Whatever (deer?) has been nibbling on the sunflower petals decided the seed pod in the center is not as tasty.
