Glacier National Park

Montana - June 2004

Glacial moraine left by retreating Grinnell Glacier

Glacial moraine left by retreating Grinnell Glacier. Waterfalls issuing from Grinnell Glacier as well as Salamander Glacier. Salamander Glacier is covered in snow on the steep side of the mountain above the cone of the glacial moraine. A speck in the snow near the middle of the photo, to the right of the rock outcrop and below and to the left of the cone of glacial moraine is a hiker traversing the hanging valley. Grinnell Glacier can no longer be seen from Grinnell Lake and is disappearing behind the stratified headwall in the lower half of the photo.
