Iconic Lakes and Waterfalls

Glacier National Park’s landscape is defined by its glacial history, visible in the turquoise hues of its 700+ lakes and the sheer force of its mountain-fed waterfalls. This collection spans the park’s diverse regions, from the deep, pebble-shored Lake McDonald in the west to the wind-swept Saint Mary Lake in the east. It highlights geological anomalies like Running Eagle Falls, which flows from a cave, and alpine gems like Grinnell Lake, colored by glacial silt. These sites showcase the park's hydrological transition from high-altitude glaciers to expansive valley basins.
