Triple Falls, Glacier National Park
I am finally back home after a nine-day trip to Glacier National Park followed by a week in Charleston with my family on vacation. The trip to Glacier was productive, but incredibly frustrating. To start with, my first three days were absolutely horrid conditions for nature photography, blue bird blue skies and not a cloud in sight. To complicate matters, Going to the Sun road was under heavy construction and completely closed down from the bend to Logan Pass each evening from 9pm until 7am. Because this trip was planned many months in advance and friends were staying on the western side of the park, it meant that we would have to get up way earlier than normal to drive around the perimeter of the park to get to many of our shooting locations. And on the flip side, it meant getting back well after mid night for sunset hikes in the high country around Logan Pass.
The image below is from the Hanging Gardens of Logan Pass and is a shot I have dreamed of for many years. Triple Falls is an unnamed and unmarked place out in the Hanging Gardens below Reynolds Creek, and is not that hard to get to once you find it’s site. On my first couple days of scouting I was unable to find it, but found it in the second to last evening shoot of the trip. The ironic thing is I was standing next to it unaware of its presence just a few days before, but due to the unusually large amount of snow fields dotting the landscape it was still buried under at that point. Warm temps towards the middle of the trip melted out many of the snow field and allowed me a chance to get this shot in some of the finest light I have had all summer long.
