As we hiked along McDonald Creek, we could hear the roar of rushing water growing louder. Coming through the dark, shaded trail, we were suddenly greeted by a beautiful waterfall. This image captures the creek as it winds its way toward the falls. Without a tripod and with the challenging mix of deep shadows and bright sunlight, I did my best to handhold the shot at a slower shutter speed. Afterward, we sat along the rocks for a while, simply taking in the sights and sounds of Glacier National Park.
