Going-to-the-Sun Road
As you wander the paths around the Logan Pass Visitor Center, taking in this amazing view, interpretive signs give a mini-lesson in geology. This sign takes the information out of the textbook and lays it on the land. You see what it's describing right in front of you. The sign stands just outside the back entrance to the visitor center. Mt. Reynolds, an example of a glacial horn, conveniently stands within easy view from the center. The sign lines up perfectly with the actual geological specimen - Mt. Reynolds, top right. An open view of Mt. Reynolds, above, is obscured by smoke from a forest fire in the Avalanche Basin, just west of Logan Pass. The sign points out that Clements Mountain
(see previous page) is not a glacial horn.
