St Mary's Glacier
Small high‑alpine glacial cirque with a turquoise tarn, lingering snowfields and jagged moraine—great for dramatic alpine reflections, close snow-texture studies and wide mountain vistas. Short but steep trail from a limited parking area on Fall River Rd; arrive at sunrise or weekday mornings to avoid crowds. In summer expect wildflowers; winter needs snowshoes/ice gear. Best light: golden hour and low-angle late afternoon; calm mornings yield mirror reflections.
