I like that place where you often see wildlife by the small river.


Can you be more specific? :-)


It was close to a geyser and I specifically remember I could see a mountain.


Wow! And that was without your contacts on, right? ;-)

:) There are a ton of "special" locations out there, but they all require backpacking. I do recall the two times I've been that the northern areas around Mammoth are moderately less travelled than the Southern portion. Still, tourists will abound.

I have never had the time to get lost in the back country. :(

Backpacking is not a problem. :)

Off road: Blacktail road/path, on the Northern end of the park, its on the official map... a 1way unpaved road, some nice scenery - wide open at parts. Where i took this, one of my faves :)

PS: do bath in the hot-springs heated rivers, makes your skin feel great! There are bathing areas set up at the North entrance of the park as well as along Firehole river I believe...

AP, perusing your Glacier National Park photos reminded me how much I need to get up there someday. Not to derail, but how long did you spend in the park?

Try the hike from Lewis Lake to Shoshone Lake (Shoshone Lake Trail); the hike to Specimen Ridge in Lamar Valley is great (standing petrified trees); hike to Delusion Lake on the south end of Yellowstone Lake is quite nice; Norris Geyser Basin is my favorite area for hot springs and the best area for very large elk; Dunraven Pass from canyon Village to Gardner is wonderful; The trail to Mt. Steveson east of Lake Yellowstone has excellent views; if you really want a good long hike, try the hike to the Bechler River to Colonnabe Falls (100ft high) in the SW part of the park; there are so many other areas.

Just remember Grizzlies are seen on all of these trails!

Thank you all again for the pointers, and the help (both private and public here). Thanks!

I spent a total of 4 nights in Glacier... 3 nights back-country camping, 1 night camping out of car. I wish I did back-country in Yellowstone, but we were so beat up! Good luck Ursula I'm looking forward to see what you bring back.

I don't see the pics. Can you link me up? I'm headed to Glacier this summer for a long weekend.

Quick question since I am also going to Yellowstone. When shooting the pools and springs (not sure what they are called) like the Morning Glory, will I need a polarizer?

Any other equipment which is a must have?

When shooting any pool or body of water I'd suggest having a polarizer.
