Community Lens for Nov. 15

Dalton Luedke of Woodstock took this photo of Glacier National Park. In the upper crest of the USA’s West, where Montana stretches north to Canada, lies Glacier National Park, a wild expanse that covers more than 4,047 square kilometers. This land has been carved by glaciers over thousands of years, resulting in some of the most gorgeous in the country, featuring 762 lakes, 175 mountains and 25 glaciers. It’s no wonder that more than 2 million people visit the park each year. Many flock to the park during the summer when the park is more easily navigable along snow-free roads. But the park is open year-round, and winter visitors can snowshoe, ice climb, cross-country ski and sightsee without crowds.
