St. Mary’s Lake and Going to the Sun Mountain would have been one of the first glorious sights seen on a horseback trip into Glacier. The Going to the Sun Chalets were on the lake positioned to get a view of the mountain, so aren’t in this picture.

This view of Swiftcurrent Lake and Grinnell Peak shows how tiny the Many Glacier Hotel is relative to the landscape. The road to the hotel obviously came in from the bottom of the postcard while most of the trails went from the upper part and right-hand side of the lake.

The five-mile trail to Iceberg Lake starts on the right-hand side of the previous postcard.
