Glacier National Park has always been a special place for me. I’ve been guilty of driving far out of my way to visit, in some instances with 19 hour stretches of driving. The park’s amazing views and glacially carved valleys are mesmerizing. One of my favorite locations in the park is Two Medicine Lake with its crystal clear water, majestic peaks and amazing morning light. This is one of a few locations I

This weekend I went back to look through older footage of Glacier National Park as I worked on a long standing personal project. While much of what I was working on in the field at the time centered on the iconic views of Glacier National Park, I was happy to see that I also captured the subtle beauty of the park as well. Sometimes simple aerial or atmospheric perspective can transform a well known view into somethin

I’ll give you one guess who won the lottery for that privilege. While we avoided having to wearing a hazardous material suits in public, we did get to go on some walks in our hilly neighborhood

Few places are as dramatic in appearance at sunrise as Glacier National Park in Montana. When I visit Glacier National Park I never miss an opportunity to witness a sunrise (even if I’ve had to fight my inner voice).  One of the best locations to take in a sunrise in the park is at the Wild Goose Island lookout. You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good p

Even the locals (Mountain Goats, Marmots and Bighorn Sheep) seem to stop to enjoy the views from time to time. They also seem to enjoy watching visiting photographers as I found out.
