Some Pretty Pictures

 It always amazes me to see vegetation growing on top of rock. These photos are from Leigh Lake in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. The trail to the lake is a steep and strenuous mile and a half up. When we got over the crest and onto the last hundred yards of flat trail we almost missed the lake! Not really, but the winds died and the reflections played with our perception.
This spring we hit Lake McDonald in Glacier Nat'l Park and the water was dead calm.
The picture on the left is on the 5 mile steep and strenuous trail to the Mount Brown Lookout trail. This is me fishing at Snyder Lake, off the same trailhead to Mt. Brown.
This little lake lies just before Iceberg Lake, one of the most popular and beautiful trails in the park!
When you drive south of the park on US Hwy 2 there is a little waterfall on the south side of the road about mid way through the park. The falls actually fall from the mountains of the Great Bear Wilderness. A buddy and I climbed the fall last year and this was the view that we found!
This was a lake in the Jewel Basin. We fished near the outlet with limited success. We then moved to where a small alpine stream flowed in. At this junction we had much better success pulling in around a dozen fish in just a few minutes. 
 This spot, also in the Basin, is much better for wildlife viewing than fishing...
