Glacier National Park Cloud Inversion: Apgar Lookout above Lake McDonald in 4K
The drive to the Apgar Lookout Trail in Glacier National Park was foggy, cloudy, and left us wondering why we should hike 7.5 miles and 2,000 feet up in elevation gain. About 75% of the way up the clouds and fog gave way to clear skies and one of the largest cloud inversions I have ever seen. To the west it was inverted all the way back to the Flathead Valley, to the south to Mount Saint Nicholas, and east to the peaks over Lake McDonald.
