St. Mary Lake In Glacier National Park
Northwestern Montana's portion of Glacier National Park boasts some of
the most stunning scenery on the planet. Unlike most national
parks, Glacier is a pristine wilderness park - except for a few small
access roads the park is pretty much the way God made it thousands of years ago.
While there are still a few small glaciers in Glacier National Park, the main
attractions are the towering mountains and pristine lakes that remained when
most of the ice melted after the last ice age. One of the most beautiful of
these lakes is St. Mary Lake which is featured in today's picture.
St. Mary Lake lies on the eastern side of the continental divide. Deep, blue
water ringed by tall, steep mountain cliffs make St. Mary a breathtaking sight,
but be prepared for the wind when you visit because the eastern half of Glacier
National Park is almost always very windy.
There are lots of exciting things to see and do at Glacier National Park and St.
Mary Lake including world-class fishing, hiking, camping and much more. But
many people visit the park just to see the spectacular scenery, and they usually
leave with enough wonderful photographs and memories to last a lifetime!
