Evening view is from Apgar Village at the southwest end of the lake. The popular story is that the lake was named after Duncan McDonald, a trader who in 1878 carved his initials in a nearby tree. Sounds sketchy, but the lake is beautiful!

Seen from Highway 49 just to the east of Glacier National Park.

Storm clouds and Aspen groves from the east side of Glacier. This day most of the rain stayed on the west side of the park, which is generally wetter than the higher and drier elevations to the east.

This neat place is situated just outside the southwest corner of Glacier National Park, in the town of Essex. It's a good place to stay if you want a taste of early twentieth century rustic - lots of wood paneling, log beams, animal heads on the walls and great stone fireplaces.  It was originally built to house workers on the Great Northern Railroad, whose right-of-way passes directly in front. It's now a popular hotel catering to rail fans, winter sports enthusiasts and those looking for something less hectic than the busy park lodges. You can even get a room in a converted railroad caboose!

Early morning on the southwest shore of Bowman Lake. The lake is in the less-visited northwest section of Glacier. It's remote from the more popular visitor attractions but worth the trek for those seeking solitude and quite (and a good chance of encountering big wildlife).

Taken along the trail to Avalanche Lake.

As seen from Many Glacier Road on the east side of the park.

Sunset on Lake McDonald - taken from Apgar Village.

On the right is Grinnell Point, on the far left is Allen Mountain and between the two is the flat-topped Gould Mountain.

Seen along Highway 49, outside the park near Two Medicine Junction. East of the park boundary, the mountains of Glacier quickly give way to rolling prairies as far as the eye can see - great cattle country.

The high peak above McDonald Valley is Heaven's Peak and the Going-To-The-Sun Road runs along the green hillside on the right. Completed in 1932, the fifty mile road is an amazing engineering feat that blends beautifully into its surroundings and enables travelers to see the full grandeur of the landscape.

On the east side of the park near Logan Pass.
