I can't pass by this creek without photographing it. It is so pretty and looks different each season. Lots of fast moving icy water this time of year - straight from the mountains.
@bjywamer This is located right by Lake McDonald Lodge - which is 10 miles from the west entrance. Lake McDonald Lodge is supposed to open today with limited services available. However it is a wonderful place to wander the grounds to take pictures - all free!
Just this morning my SIL sent a photo of a rushing creek, Graves Creek, close yo Thompson Falls. Crystal clear snowmelt water, so beautiful! I know you can hear this water before you actually see it! Love love the McDonald Lodge area.
