One of several roaring waterfalls seen and heard along the trail to Otokomi Lake. This setting provided a nice rest stop for my wife, sister, and I during our 10 mile hike. (39K)

Many Glacier Lodge, situated on Swiftcurrent Lake with Grinnell Point (center). In the distance are Mount Gould (left) and Mount Wilbur (right). Many thanks to Adriano Becker (São Paulo, Brazi) who fused the image together from the original two separate images.

Looking at the Pompelley Pillar on a bright, clear morning in August. This composite picture was taken from near the Upper Two Medicine Lake back country campsite. This image was scanned from a series of photographs from my photo album that are physically taped together. Thanks to John Welsh , the image has been digitally blended into a continuous picture (click here). (91K)

Relaxing at Upper Two Medicine Lake. (Yes, the rocks are really that red.) (62K)




The following six pictures were taken with slide film. The picture quality here appears dark not because of the slide film, but because of the slide scanning process (our slide scanner has not been fully calibrated yet).

The turquoise blue waters of Cracker Lake, well worth the six mile hike from Many Glacier Lodge. The glacier feeding this lake can be seen on the mountain slopes at the lake's head, one half mile in the distance (see left). The picture at the right was taken at the head of the lake at the water's edge. (31K, 22K)

Milky white stream that feeds Cracker Lake comes from the glacier. This milky white substance, called "glacier flour" is what gives the lake a turquoise blue appearance. It is comprised of finely crushed rock which becomes suspended in the lake (doesn't settle out). These small particles diffract light in the same way as particles in the atmosphere cause the sky to be blue. The picture on the right was scanned from a photograph that was converted from the original slide. The image on the right more accurately reflects the true colors, but the slide conversion process proved to be expensive. (30K)
