This
park is superb reservoir of wilderness remaining in Montana's
Northern
Rocky Mountains. These mountains still have grizzly bear, wolves
and
for
a little while longer glaciers. For two weeks in July and August
2001
I
lived in a handsome cabin on the shores of Lake McDonald.
Nearly
every day I drove the steep, narrow Going-to-the-Sun-Road
to
paint up near Logan Pass (6650 ft. elevation) amid mountain goats and marmots.
Glacier
remains memorable for it insistent rhythms of the layers of its sedimentary
rocks--
the
patterns sweep from mountain to mountain in characteristic bands.
