Clouds hang low and menacing on the mountains above Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The trees in this shot were just beginning to show that fall was just around the corner. Not quite yellow, but definitely headed in that direction. Summers are short at this altitude and latitude as this was the end of August. Two weeks later parts of the park had up to 8" of snow and this road was closed.
I made this shot as we were driving east of Glacier National Park. This is a scene from Montana Highway 49 looking into Glacier National Park in the Two Medicine area of the park. I wasn't expecting that much scenery from this area, but it turned out to be a beautiful drive and one I would gladly do again, in hopes that I will have more time to take my time next time through the area. I believe it would be great for sunrise or sunset shots, or even a midday shot like this one. :-)
