Kathy took most of these pictures driving through Logan’s Pass. Glacier National Park is appropriately named. Most of the white spots in the pictures are glaciers or snow pack. There are about 37 glaciers left in the park and most of them are receding or shrinking in size.
We came through the park a later in the summer, but there we saw some of the wildflowers in bloom on the way up Looking Glass Hill overlooking Two Medicine Lake. The mountains and lake serve as a spectacular backdrop. We walked around the lake later.
This is looking downstream from Running Eagle Falls or Trick Falls. The glacier on the mountain would likely be considered one of the 25 active glaciers in the park. An active glacier is one that is 25 acres or more. Over 90% of the park is wilderness.
This is Jackson Glacier. Although it does not look very high, it is deceptive. The roads climb well up into the pass and travelers end up closer to the mountain tops.
This is the tourist stop in Logan’s Pass with the mountains in the background. Parking is at a premium here so we did not get to stop.
Most of the pictures we took going through the pass were from the car without stopping. Again, the peaks are not much above the road level.
Waterfalls ribbon the mountainsides as they are constantly fed by the glaciers.
If you look closely at the picture below, you can see about 3/4 of the way up the road on the left side. It is a slight darkening. The middle of the picture, below the background peak, is basically where the road reaches the summit of Logan’s Pass .
Your wife’s pictures are spectacular! I keep looking through them again and again, and can’t imagine what it must have been like to experience Logan’s Pass in person. I especially like the wildflower shot with the glacier mountains in the background. Absolutely beautiful!
Kathy sends her thanks Elisa. It is an amazing gift we have in that part of Montana and Alberta.

Amazing shots Ivon. I’m homesick!
It is outstanding country. Thank you David.
Wish I could go there! (Great pictures even though she didn’t even have you stop the car!)
The scenery is breathtaking. It is not so much that we did not want to stop. The roads are so narrow and the parking is limited you just slow down and take the picture.
Incredible photos !!! Thank you for sharing.
