Alpine landscape. Summer hiking in Glacier National Park

A hiker wearing shorts and a blue backpack kneels beside a pond on a grassy alpine plateau, filling her water bottle. In the background is a towering mountain ridgeline, with sharp peaks and patches of snow and ice dotting its slopes (Mount Sir Donald and Illecillewaet Glacier). Above the stony ridgeline is a sky of light blue, partly filled with white cumulus clouds.
