Can you see Logan Pass Park Quarters? It's at the top of the photo. And like I said, so many waterfalls. I think when I was shooting this I didn't realize the Pass was just up there or I would have tried to do a better photo. As you can see, still lots of snow below the pass.
Logan Pass (elevation 6,646 ft (2,026 m)) is located along the Continental Divide. It is the highest point on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The pass is named after Major William R. Logan, the first superintendent of the park.
Just east of the pass, an area known as Big Drift often records over 100 feet of snowfall, much of which has been pushed over the continental divide by the prevailing westerly winds during the winter.
A record wind gust was recorded at Logan Pass on April 9, 2014, of 139 miles per hour. The pass was closed at that time. "The previous record gust recorded at Logan Pass was 133 mph, on Dec. 13, 2006. The average wind speed during the hour the record gust was recorded was 66 mph
