Clements Mountain in the distance at Logan Pass. Snow levels still
remain high at Logan Pass, and proof of harsh winters at this elevation
can be seen in this wind-blown sub-alpine fir.

at Going-to-the-Sun Mountain from Logan Pass. As the temperature increases
and the snow melts, the rest of these sub-alpine

The effects
of the 2003 fires can be seen here as a black bear feeds on much needed

new growth of various plant species, as well as the emergence of wildlife
into areas that were previously unoccupied.
