Waterfall, snow, and evergreens. Great combination.

That’s a very pretty piece of old-growth forest there. I hope it will be preserved.

Winter really hangs on there, doesn’t it?!

It does at the higher elevations in the heavy forests and on the north slopes. Today I was on a mountain about fifty miles from there where there was much more snow remaining. I was a little higher. Some years in the Mission Mountains east of Glacier park some snow will remain all year.

Great photo. At how high it is? In Finland snow and summer can be seen at same time in midsummer in the most Northern part called Lapland.

This wasn’t too high, around 5,500 feet, but on the shaded slope and in fairly heavy forest.

Very nice shot. I’m surprised the waterfall isn’t iced over during the snow, but I guess it IS Spring and most has melted by now.

I tried to find that trail two months ago when I hiked up there on snowshoes but was unable to find it. I’m sure there was more ice on the waterfall abut I also suspect that it ran beneath deep snow as several other small streams I found did. Since April the snow that was six feet deep on the road has now all melted.

Judging by the amount of snow, these falls will probably run strong for a while yet.

It will, and I would think there will be water there all year long. The stream comes out of Revett Lake which I believe is spring-fed.

The old snow is a familiar and fleeting image in our region, as well….temps will be up near 100 in the valley this weekend…so it will be plenty warm during the days and evenings up in the mountains…but I’m pretty sure I’ll encounter more of the white stuff on my hike this Sunday as I head up to Lake Blanche for the first time this season….. That’s a classic mountain springtime image, Terry….very nice.

I bet Lake Blanche will be a beautiful sight now with a lot more snow than we have remaining. It is quite a bit higher.

I think I wouldn’t mind the snow so much this late in the year because I’m sure it’s not bitter cold. And, right now, here at 110, it would be very pleasant to stand there awhile.

That day was a bit cold. Today though I was in even more snow than that but the temperature was around 60 and would have been very warm except for a strong wind. Compared to 110º I’d bet you would have liked it!

Yes, it’s a beautiful area. I understand that trail gets quite a few visitors each summer too.

We so often think of spring pushing up and out, but here it’s tumbling down. It’s a gorgeous photo of a beautiful reality – transition time!

“Transition time” is a good way to put it, and it’s a very active and often violent time here. I think that waterfall was quite a force a month ago at the peak of the snow melt. One has to be out in the wilderness at all times of the year to see all of it’s raw beauty and begin to understand just a little of it.

I could the sound of roaring water shortly after leaving the trail head. This was the only large falls that I could see from the trail but there was at least another big one in the canyon below where the trail crossed it because it was very loud. Yes, the smell of the trees and the smell of pure air! I’ve heard people comment on that when they come up here for the first time. I have just about forgotten the contrasting smells of the city.

We will have snowbanks on the higher mountains for another month. Then the first snow comes usually in September.
