Community Lens for Oct. 27

Erica Brown of Atlanta submitted this photo from a trip to Glacier National Park in June. According to the National Park Service, the drive to Bowman Lake is along a rough, dusty, dirt road with blind curves and limited pullouts, and passes through the tiny community of Polebridge and sections of the park that burned in 1988. The campground is located close to the shore of Bowman Lake and campsites are within trees for shade and some privacy. Tent campers looking for peace and quiet will enjoy Bowman Lake for its serenity and remote location. Pack bug repellent or head nets, as mosquitoes often take residence in the area. Potable water is available at water spigots in the campground, and there are vault toilets nearby. Day hiking opportunities abound near Bowman Lake for visitors eager to experience Glacier’s wilderness recreational opportunities, including hiking, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
