The magic of Glacier National Park is that its bigger than life beauty is seemingly presented like acts of a play. Through out the day or sometimes slowly over several days various acts are revealed. Most know Glacier from its iconic sun kissed glacially carved peaks and valleys (see Swiftcurrent Lake Panoramic, Glacier National Park), but between these amazing moments curtains of clouds descends as harsh weather continues to sculpt the landscape. The thrill of Glacier National Park is witnessing these acts, each different the last. Every time I visit I never know what I’ll be graced to see and the anticipation is always palpable. Even when the curtain descends Glacier has a magic to it, teasing you with glimpses of its grand terrain. That alone keeps me coming back.

Absolutely beautiful image!
Gorgeous shot. I go to the Canadian side – Waterton National Park often, and it, like the US side, is a magical place. The weather and landscape never cease to offer up great photographic opportunities.
Wonderful shot here Jim – different than many I have seen of Glacier. It is a good portrayal of the mystery that lies on some of those mountain cliffs.
That works! I feel cold!
