Chief Mountain sits on the border of Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, partially in both locations. At 9,080 feet it’s certainly not the tallest mountain in the area, but it’s rugged shape certainly define it as a dominant landmark and one that was used by Native Americans and early explorers. Glacier National Park isn’t really known for it’s fall color but there are areas where some brilliant stands of deciduous, mostly aspen, trees can be found. I used a telephoto lens to create this image, showing a different angle on Chief Mountain and where the morning light added nice warm tones to the colorful autumn aspens.
