Wild Goose Island

A trip to Glacier isn't complete without a trip down the east side of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway.  At the bottom of the pass is St. Mary's Lake and this often photographed scenic with the tiny Wild Goose Island in the middle of the picture.

McDonald Creek offers a beautiful example of he characteristic turquoise blue water found in Glacier National Park.  The turquoise coloring is from glacial flour, which is the fine particulates suspended in the water and is caused by the grinding of rocks when glaciers slide over them.
