16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Grinnell Glacier overlook from the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park

This photo was taken in Glacier National Park from the top of the Grinnell Glacier overlook trail that extends about a mile off of the Highline Trail. This trail was strenuous, gaining a lot of elevation over a very short distance, but was well worth the effort as it offered views of the Grinnell Glacier accompanied by a series of turquoise lakes.
