Images from Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park

Glacier NP is my #1 favorite NP to visit. There is such a large variety of beautiful hikes and such iconic vistas. Each time we go there, it always different. These images are from the Avalanche lake area in Aug 2018. We started out there early in the early morning, so we had some of the benefit of some early morning light. The difficulty of the entire trip was the smoky haze due to the west coast fires. At times, the visibility was only a couple of miles, as compared to the normally ultra clear air. But the haze did provide some interesting photo opportunities. One, it made early morning sun rays much more prominent.
We got out to the lake early before most people were out there and experienced some forest drama. A couple fishing, said there was a small grizzly in the area. A couple of minutes later a doe came running out of the woods. She was obviously very nervous and on full alert but didn't seem to care about us at all. She just kept watching into the woods, we assumed, for the grizzly. However, a few minutes later we saw the focus of her attention. She got separated from her fawn while a small bear was running around the area. She finally found her fawn and they left the area, unharmed. So it ended with a happy ending.
