Immensely Rugged and Harsh Mountains of the Lewis Range

The immensely rugged and harsh mountains of the Lewis Range, a  sub range of the Montana Rocky Mountains in the Glacier National Park.  To the left we see Harrison Glacier sitting on the topside of Walton  Mountain.   

The water runoff from the glacier and melting winter snow pack flows  through a series of small creeks and streams into that ravine running to  the immediate right of the glacier. That ravine is called Harrison  Creek and feeds into a beautiful lake just below the bottom of this  picture.   

To the immediate right of the ravine is Mount Thompson and  directly  above this is Blackfoot Mountain with Pumpelly Glacier barely  visible  on the top right of its peak.   

Further to the right along the top of the mountainous ridgeline we see Red Eagle Pass and then to the far right lays Razoredge Mountain. All along the ridgeline runs the Continental Divide.  

I lensed this image while flying in the late afternoon during the recent fire season. There were numerous forest fires burning to the west of me hence the golden red hue the overall image has. You can clearly see smoke from the fires along the top of the mountainous ridgeline.   

This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.  

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
