Many Glaciers


I had a yearning to see some live shots of Glacier National Park today. I went to the Glacier National Park website and checked out the web cams that have placed throughout the park. (Check it out at http://www.nps.gov/glac/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm) You can click on an active web cam image that updates every 60 seconds. It was fun to go check out all of the web cams and see how the the effects of Autumn are changing the look and feel of GNP. If I am not mistaken there was a trace of snow on some of the mountains! You should go check it out!

The image above is one of my favorites from our hike around Swiftcurrent Lake which was taken on our trip to Many Glaciers. Many Glaciers is yet another gem in the crown of Glacier. We saw some gorgeous scenery, as well as a black bear, on our way up to Many Glaciers from Two Medicine. We were not disappointed with this view of Mt. Wilbur that you can see along the trail as you hike around the lake.
