In August 2015 I travelled for the first time to the stunning landscape of Glacier National Park in Montana to capture the annual wildflower season there. Unfortunately, the whole area was severely affected by wildfires during this time and made photographing really difficult.
Nevertheless, I was able to capture a very beautiful morning vista of one of the most iconic scenes in the area: Swiftcurrent Lake.
Located in the Many Glacier region, the lake features the largest heritage hotel in the park – the Many Glacier Hotel – along its shore. This four-story Swiss Chalet style hotel was constructed in 1914-15 and is surrounded by balconies which offer this view of Swiftcurrent Lake and the surrounding mountain scenery. In the early days of Many Glacier Hotel, only the rich and famous could afford to stay in this beautiful structure and the other rustic chalets throughout the area – now you can enjoy the view with this gorgeous VAST print.
