Wolf Gun Mountain Shrouded in Alpenglow Colored Clouds
This is Wolf Gun Mountain at dusk as the alpenglow hues of golden amber color the clouds enveloping the top of the mountain. To the left, beyond those harsh cliffs is Anaconda Peak and to the right of Wolf Gun Mountain, also obscured by clouds lies Dutch Ridge. These awesome foreboding mountains are part of Glacier National Park in the Rocky Mountains of northwestern Montana.
Here is a link to google maps for the location of this beautiful place.
I lensed this image while hiking on Demer Ridge a ways across the valley from Wolf Gun Mountain. In the foreground lays Sullivan Meadows and at the base of that flows the North Fork of the Flathead River. This area is a rugged wilderness that you really have no reason to be in if you cannot survive the elements.
Sullivan Meadows was the traditional hunting grounds of the Canadian First Nations Cree Tribes who would travel south to this location to hunt Mountain Goats, Elk, Deer and Bear. And to hunt along the Flathead River.
This is another image and story 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.

These are still beautiful because they are far from human. Sometimes we feel that human is the only living organism that destroys the life of all living organisms on the Earth's surface.
