Walton Mountain and Harrison Glacier In the Alpenglow of Dusk
The immensely rugged and harsh mountains of the Lewis Range, a sub range of the Montana Rocky Mountains in the Glacier National Park. To the left we see Harrison Glacier sitting on the topside of Walton Mountain.
The water runoff from the glacier and melting winter snow pack flows through a series of small creeks and streams into that ravine running to the immediate right of the glacier. That ravine is called Harrison Creek and feeds into a beautiful lake just below the bottom of this picture.
Here is a link to google maps for the location of this beautiful place.
To the immediate right of the ravine is Mount Thompson and directly above this is Blackfoot Mountain with Pumpelly Glacier barely visible on the top right of its peak. Further to the right along the top of the mountainous ridgeline we see Red Eagle Pass and then to the far right lays Razoredge Mountain.
All along the ridge line runs the Continental Divide. I lensed this image while flying in the late afternoon during the recent fire season. There were numerous forest fires burning to the west of me hence the golden red hue the overall image has. You can clearly see smoke from the fires along the top of the mountainous ridgeline.
This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
