On Saturday, August 25th the morning skies were clear and cloudless, which made for great hiking over Piegan Pass. Blackfoot and Jackson Glaciers can be seen in the distance.

Park scientists are still debating whether Piegan Glacier, on the slopes of Piegan Mountain, is really still a glacier. Estimates are that from 30 to 50 small glaciers still exist in the park, but careful monitoring will need to be done to get an exact count.

The Siyeh Bend area of the Going-to-the-Sun Road can be seen in the valley bottom.

In the afternoon some smoke and haze from fires outside the park wafted over the Continental Divide and provided some dramatic lighting for the mountains.
