a Pano from Gunsight Peak, Fusillade and Reynolds horns and Heavy Runner Mountain. Per usual, if you click on Original you get a bigger version of the photo.
FYI: St. Mary Lake lies on the eastern side of the continental divide in Glacier National Park. The eastern side of Glacier is much different than found in the western side of the park. It is more arid and gets increasingly arid the further one moves down in elevation and away from the continental divide. The eastern side of Glacier National Park is also much windier than is found in the western half of the park. And Saint Mary Lake is no exception to this. Indeed, it defines it. Saint Mary Lake has strong winds on it for much of the time during the year. Unlike Lake McDonald, which lies just 12 air miles away on the western side of the continental divide, a calm day is a rarity on Saint Mary Lake.
