First of all I would like to say thanks to all of you who provided some tips and advice in a previous thread I started on Glacier and the Tetons. The wife and I both enjoyed out trip, although we were a little dissapointed with Glacier. Not sure what it was we were expecting from the park, but neither of us seemed to find it. The weather was pretty nice, for anything other than photography. Very bright, contrasty, mostly cloudless skys, and LOTS of haze from all the wildfires in the area made photography a challenge. Despite the challenges, I did manage to come away with some pics that I'm very happy with with.
This first photo was taken in the area of Wild Goose Island.
This is one of the many waterfalls we saw, but I don't remember the name.
A close up section of a waterfall.
Some wildflowers in bloom in an area of the park that had recently burned. I used the Orton Imagery technique on this one.
A phone booth in the little town of Polebridge on the west side of the park. I highly recommend a trip to this town if you're in the area. The road to it is unpaved, and VERY rough, but well worth the effort to get there. The bakery at the Polebridge Mercantile is worth the trip alone.

A sign on the front of the Northern Lights Saloon in Polebridge.
Behind the Saloon is a stage for entertainment. This was below the sound booth.
One of the many local dogs that run free in Polebridge.
Beyond Polebridge is another entrance back into the park. The roads in this area of the park are maintained in a "primative" condition. Very narrow, and very rough. Lots of sections are only wide enough for 1 vehicle. One road leads to Bowman Lake. I figured with roads like this, and being this far away from the main areas of the park, we would be all alone back here. Boy was I wrong!! The parking lot was full when we got there. Still a nice view, and worth the effort to get there. This is Bowman Lake.
On the way back from Bowman Lake, we spotted this guy eating berries along the road.
A little cabin along the road right outside of Polebridge.
This is Sunrift Gorge along the Going To The Sun Road.
This is Avalanche Creek just before sunset, along the Sun Raod.

I hope I make it out to Glacier someday myself. Thanks for sharing.
Your vacation looked very relaxing.
