Very nice shots by you and Blackbird.

Is this below the cascades at McDonald Creek, across the highway from Avalanche and Trail of the Cedars? If so, that's such a cool spot where the water falls through those slots. Harder to get to it from the backside like that. Also, Avalanche Falls is really cool and a mini rain forest, and anyone can see it on a totally accessible boardwalk trail.

Nope that vantage point not far from the hidden lake trail head a logan. Less than a 1/2 mile form the visitors center at logan. That whole area is closed the entire season now, not even when snow cover is still on or right when the eveything is dead and the snow is starting will the park open that area anymore.

As far as crowding, if people just drive over the top, they'll be blown away. If you ride a small bus, it's almost better because you can relax about driving off a cliff and actually see things, and you're rid of your panicked passengers who can't enjoy the view because you're driving next to cliffs! I saw more doing that once than I have riding a bike - too tired to look around going up, concentrating too hard on not going off a cliff going back down.

LOL Yeah when we take guests and what not up they are always stomping on the brake in the pass/back seats, and my wife's aunt actually got mad at me for treating the drive up and over "like a sunday drive" and nearly hitting the rock and driving over the side...... In my defense is was sunday, you have to get close to the rock face an just because you cant see the edge does not mean there are not fee of road there. I can run that road in my sleep I have been over it so many times. In fact went to costco to get a lawn mower battery and ended up a logan for the evening

1st time I hiked the upper end of the highline was late in the season and there was a little snow on it and the hose/cable was already removed for the winter. I remember the hiker bailing off from a couple years ago, wife/mil/and some family were in the park that day but over at many glacier when that was going on....


from WAY WAY up the northfork.

Lol that was not taken recently.

Too green and not enough snow?

[LateFan]

Not enough smoke...






Of course it wasn't taken recently..."lol"......

99% of these people have never been to this place and it might be interesting to them.

That looks like last years fire at sun rift / Lake St Mary.

Too green and not enough snow?

kinda right, yes way too green for this time of year, too much snow as well. but as late has alluded too WAY too much visibility.

This is a capture off the webcam yesterday looking at roughly the same perspective as the people on the the over look deck, thats not fog or a cloud its bright clear sun shinny day its smoke from all the fires..... The Rice Ridge fire in Seeley Lake has had the area looking much like this image since july, Its not just this bad up at the higher elevations in the park, there are 17 large fires burning in MT and ID and several more in Alberta and eastern BC. ITS BAD .......... Even down in the valley at my house, wife cant see the tree line about a 1/2 mile away and the Salish range we live at the base of cant be seen either...

Cool photo.....I would NOT be out on that rock.

SkiFree - why was that such a great color on that car? It's amazing how right it is. And Alpinas.....

[SkiFree]

Right? It just goes with the simple elegant lines so well. Someone recently called them the gentleman's hot-rod, that doesn't seem all that far off the mark.

Same spot, yesterday..

Wife said there was snow in the high elevations lastnight, and that it finally cooled off but skipped the 80s the 70s and the 60s. Wenter right from mid 90s to seasonal cool 50s and a bit of needed rain
