Glacier National Park Wildflowers

Okay, so it's the dead of winter, and spring is still a long way off. I thought I'd offer a ray of hope with a few wildflower photos. Warm days are a ways off, but they will arrive again!

Although the ice and sheer cliffs at Iceberg Lake get all the attention, the wildflowers in the alpine meadows just before reaching the lake are quite amazing:
