As summer takes its brief turn in Glacier National Park, stunning wildflower displays emerge in a matter of days and weeks, and the bears and other wildlife that call Glacier home forage around the clock in their own desperate race against time. By midsummer, the skies are often clouded by thunderstorms and the smoke of distant fires. Here are some more photos of summer in Glacier National Park.
