Climbing into the clouds at Glacier National Park
Nov 23, 2019 10:56:36 #
This is a set of pictures I took when I climbed Reynolds Mt. at Glacier. Reynolds looks intimidating from below but it's basically a walk up with a little bit of scrambling at the top. There's some exposure at the top but if your sure footed and careful it's not to bad. When I made it to the top the peak was shrouded in clouds which really added to the beauty. Days like this is when I'm really glad I have my D5600. It's so light I hardly notice it around my neck. All the shots were taken with my Nikon 10-24 lens.
For anyone that wants to zoom in and search, there are 2 people half way up in the first picture. In the brighter smooth section of the mountain is a darker cliff spot that stands out. They are just above and to the right of that dark cliff area. You can also make out a line snaking up the brighter smooth section. That's the climbers trail that the people are on. They're very small but they're definitely people. It really gives a reference to how bit the mountain is.

The top of Reynolds is shaped like a long narrow ridge.

The knife shaped mountain in the middle of the pic is called the Dragons Tail.

Beautiful pics Matt especially the last one, is there a way down to that lake? That would be a beautiful place for a log cabin
