Description

A shallow river flows over reddish and gray rock ledges, creating small rapids and whitewater in the foreground. Coniferous trees, a rocky bank, and a partly cloudy blue sky complete this natural landscape near Rising Sun in Glacier National Park, Montana.

Story

Captured in September 2015, the photograph presents a close, near-water view of a rocky river along the Going-to-the-Sun Road corridor in eastern Glacier National Park, Montana. Blue-green water runs across reddish and gray rock ledges, while coniferous trees and a partly cloudy sky add depth to the scene. The exact river is not identified in the supplied metadata, so the image is best described as a river landscape near Rising Sun rather than attributed to a named waterway.
