Well, spring will be here soon, so it’s happened in the past years. However, Mother Nature has decided to delay spring by giving us more snow and more cold weather. By this time last year I had geese in my pond! Not this year, everything still is frozen solid and there’s no thaw in the forecast.

I also know that West Glacier, the Park Head Quarters, had record high precipitation this winter. If things keep up like this, you’ll be luck to get over Logan Pass by June 15th. To make matters worse, a large portion of the upper road slid-out last fall and they have not completely fixed it yet.

Now, don’t let this keep you from coming. Things could change very quickly and there always are other great places to photograph the Park, it’s not all about Logan Pass (and it’s nice to be there when there are relatively few people). I’ll keep people updated as things change. But for now, I’m still in Alberta photographing wildlife!



Take care,
