The temperature dropped, the cicadas and crickets started chirping and daylight plunged into darkness. Even some stars became visible (there is a star or planet just to the left of the frame).
The view looking North East over Lake Josephine, back towards Many Glacier Hotel, at the start of our early morning hike up to Grinnell Glacier.
The smoke from the forest fires on the western slope of the mountain can be seen sinking into the Grinnell and Salamander Glacier basin. Grinnell Glacier is the lower glacier on the left side of the frame, Salamander Glacier is feeding it from above, via a 400 foot waterfall. Grinnell Glacier is 100 feet thick and the lake is 100 feet deep. For a better sense of scale he black band of rock above Grinnell Glacier and attached to Salamander is 100 feet thick.
