These are just a couple of the small stream waterfalls that were along the Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park. I wonder if the second one follows a fault line that helped it carve such a deep (little) canyon. That’s my Geology background coming to the surface.
This was taken after the first snowfall of the season (in September) near the visitor center on the east side of the summit of Logan Pass on the Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park. It was digging for food … just a last snack before hibernation. Not sure if it was after roots or a marmot.
I was going through some trip photos from a few years back and found these. They aren’t ‘perfect’ in their focus … which is why you haven’t seen them before. But when I reviewed them, the focus didn’t worry me as much as immediately after taking them. Expectations change with time. With the color image, I especially like the very out of focus mountains in the distance.
My last post showed some Rocky Mountain views and I mentioned how I prefer the mossy/ferny Olympic Mountains. Here are some trail shots from the Rockies. Nice country. The last image, however, is from the Olympic National Park and shows a typical trail. Much different.
I haven’t spent a lot of time in the Rockies … not nearly as much as in the North Cascades or Olympics. They are very different environments. I like them both … but am much more at home with the lush ferns and mosses of the Olympics.
