Landscape Portfolio | Hyalite Creek

Landscape Portfolio | Hyalite Creek   Hyalite Creek is one of Montana’s little secrets with unending vistas year around.

The Back Story  After a nice snow, drive up Hyalite Canyon road until the snows too deep, then take a hike up/down the creek. This image was the second from  last one before I slipped on a wet rock and fell into Hyalite Creek.  Yeah, it happens to me on occasion; actually fairly often.  So, I just got my leg and posterior wet; water was cold.  It was my second slip into the creek.  Three years ago, about the same time of year, I slipped into the creek, down stream a bit, attempting to do the same thing.  For some odd reason, I have captured some of my best images while getting wet from water or snow.
