This was taken on the eastern side of the park, near East Glacier Lodge (which is one of the coolest buildings I’ve seen). There’s a trail that leads right from the tiny train station to those mountains, one of the many reasons why Glacier is known as the ultimate hiker’s park.

If I remember correctly, the image consists of five to six separate frames, which were then blended using Photoshop. Feel free to download the image for personal use (screensaver, etc). Just click the image to download the full size.

I hope to return to this magnificent park this fall. We’ll see.
