It's hard to know what to do with a place as spectacularly beautiful as Glacier National Park in northwest Montana. Photographs don't capture the immense beauty of the place, but nonetheless I'd like you to take a look at them. So here, here are a handful of my favorites from the photographs from the ones I took on our 12 day adventure:

There's a dirty, gritty, wildness to a place like Glacier that pictures can't convey, I don't think. Still, it can be nice to look at, no?

(I'm currently pitching stories on some of the more substantive aspects of the trip, and so won't share too much here yet. But should no story run, I'll certainly fill you in on everything I found to be interesting about Glacier -- including, of course, the disappearance of the glaciers. But also fascinating, I thought, was how Glacier isn't exactly untrammeled wilderness, having been built as a tourist destination for the benefit of the Great Northern Railroad.)
