Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park on a cloudy day. One of the most popular hikes due to great scenery and relative ease of the hike you need to get there early to get a parking space.

Glacier National Park, Montana
Reach the high point on the trail at 1.9 miles. From here the trail descends to the foot of lovely Avalanche Lake (3,905-ft.), sitting at the base of the Avalanche Basin, at 2.2 miles. Views open to the sheer cliffs of the cirque ringing the head of the basin. The Little Matterhorn (7,886-ft.), a pyramid shaped peak, rises along the ridge to the south. Unseen beyond the Little Matterhorn is the Sperry Glacier, feeding meltwater to Monument Falls and many of the other waterfalls spilling down the steep cliffs beyond the lake. Nearer at hand is a log jam at the lake’s outlet.
Revelation 6:16
They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
Replaced 9.12.09: fixed some odd issues, such as darkness from editing previously on laptop, made larger size...etc. :)

This is the southwest end of Avalanche Lake in the Adirondack Mountains.
In addition to this bridge the hike along the lake has a few ladders that must be used in order to traverse the trail.
Stunning view from the top of Avalanche Peak, looking towards Mt Rolleston and Crow Glacier.

I knocked one of the boys Lego boxes over earlier. No drama for me other than clearing it up. For Joe though......
Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. We took a ranger led hike to get to this lake on one of our last days in the park. We arrived at midday which really was pretty bad lighting for photography, but I made the most of what I was dealt at the time. I'd love to go back to this spot earlier or later in the day when the light wasn't as harsh for another opportunity to photograph this great location.
Avalanche
Avalanches come without warning, thunderous rivers of snow swallowing all in their path. Life is much the same. A single moment, and what you’ve built is buried beneath silence and ruin. I’ve seen it on these frozen slopes and in the hearts of those who wander them: loss, grief, collapse. Yet, like the mountain, we endure. We dig through the cold weight of despair, breath by breath, hand by trembling hand. And when the storm clears, what remains is not what was lost, but what survived, stronger, scarred, and shining beneath the pale Arctic sun, unbroken, alive.

The heavily laden branches of this tree bent under the weight of the snow which triggered a cascading avalanche of snow about 30 meters down onto the house and car below. It was an impressive load of snow. Perhaps if I had been standing under it I would have been buried and killed.
A scary autumn storm deposited a layer of ice and then a layer of snow onto all of the trees in my neighborhood, ending the autumn foliage season. I was outside taking photos before dawn, as the ice and snow quickly melted.
Avalanche Creek, as it flows through Avalanche Gorge.
Glacier National Park, Flathead County, Montana
This is panorama of avalanche creek just upstream from the gorge area, created from 6 frames shot vertically. A sweeping 180-degree bend in the creek, with a nice pool in the left side of the image before the channel drops again and heads into the steeper section downstream.
It's always interesting as you climb higher in the mountains to observe how you are not only progressing from one ecological zone to another (i. e., montane, subalpine, alpine), but also moving backward in season. At my house, which is just under 200', spring plants begin stirring in March or April and are past their prime in June, when much of the mountains are still buried in snow. The trailhead for Lena Lakes is about 700' and not much different. July is definitely summer there. But as you get higher and higher you move back in season. Species of flowers that are shriveled at lower elevations change to flowers in full bloom, then to ones just blossoming, then to ones still under snow. And then, when you turn around and head back to the trailhead you reverse the process, moving from spring back to summer and through the whole lifecycle of the flowers in the course of a few hours.

Had this for maybe two weeks and I have been to lazy and busy to post.
Its called it the avalanche because this hardsuit was built after snowmegedion and was the only way to fight in the harsh cold conditions.
