Description
Catching a View from the Going-to-the-Sun Road
When I arrived, the air was thick with smoke from the fires in and near the park as well as smoke being blown in from Washington, Oregon and Idaho fires. Luckily it was raining in Washington and Oregon, and the next day we woke to the natural beauty of the area.
Going-to-the-Sun Road was completed in 1932 and bisects the park, passing over the Continental Divide. The park is split into West Glacier and East Glacier with different geographic terrain and climates (the west gets more moisture). The park is a hiker's heaven with over 700 miles of trails, many of them where it is possible to encounter wildlife like: big horn sheep, marmots, mountain goats, deer, and even black bears and grizzly bears to name a few.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
