We stopped to see the Jackson Glacier, one of about 50 glaciers left in the park. Of biggest concern, of course is the steady shrinkage of the remaining glaciers. We also saw Grinnell Glacier in another part of the park.
The second picture is of Sunrift Gorge, a narrow straight edged gorge that flows down to another beautiful twin falls.
The third picture is of St. Mary's Lake with Wild Goose Island, a tiny dot in a huge lake.
The tiny peak in the middle of the larger peaks is Triple Divide Peak(last picture). A raindrop falling on this peak may flow toward the Atlantic, Pacific or north toward the Artic Ocean.
It was a beautiful and a little scary(for me) ride. I held on tight with my camera around my neck!!!
