It was a long week out in Glacier National Park, dodging fires, escaping the smoke and hunting for clouds—tough even finding flowing water and flowers. With apparently just 15% of snowfall this past winter, drought conditions were in full effect—flowers were long gone for the most part and creek beds were nearly dry. This evening though, we were able to get out from most of the smokey haze and catch some nice, interesting light up at Logan Pass. This is Hidden Lake at the foot of Bearhat Mountain. The search for foreground life led me to this spot where I was able to get a slight sideview angle on the mountain and some greater depth out to the horizon. Blended around 6 shots to get sharpness throughout. With Going to the Sun road closed I was worried we weren’t going to be able to make it up here. Was incredible to finally see it—a photographer’s dream.

Thanks John! This was about 7 shots at different focus points blended together for sharpness throughout-however it doesn't look too sharp on here for some reason.

Love this sunset shot of Hidden Lake at Glacier National Park. It must be pretty dark by the time you came back down to the parking lot, or you were camping overnight. Need to plan for this next time I am up there provided that the weather will be cooperating....
