Wild Goose Island

Wild Goose Island Viewpoint is a place of unparalleled beauty in Glacier National Park. Situated in the heart of the park, this viewpoint offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

 

The true beauty of Wild Goose Island Viewpoint lies in the centerpiece of the scene - Wild Goose Island itself. This small, rocky island sits in the middle of St. Mary Lake, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. The island is adorned with vibrant green vegetation and colorful wildflowers, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue of the lake.

 

Visited in the early morning, as the sun began to rise, the sky transformed into a canvas of warm hues, shades of orange, pink, and purple paint the horizon, reflecting off the calm waters of the lake. The mountains are bathed in a golden light, casting long shadows and adding depth to the already breathtaking landscape.
