Bowman Lake
If you love water sports on
crystal clear water, Bowman Lake in Glacier National Park is the
place for you. But be aware, it is a prime habitat to Osprey and
Eagles so the lake above the upper campground is frequently closed
while these beautiful, protected birds are nesting.

of Square Peak, Rainbow Peak, and Mount Carter. For a day of quiet
fishing, canoeing, paddle boating, or picnicking on her shores, you

Now, this is a fantastically

Lovely to see, and a photographers delight!

East Side of Glacier National Park In

The park closed early on us this

there. Chief Mtn to the north and East Glacier to the south.
All with magnificent scene of their own.

One of the wonders of North
American wildlife can be experienced during the dawn of an autumn
day in elk country. As clouds lighten from gray to pink and

a valley. People who witness such scenes seldom forget the
experience.
