Sperry Glacier from Comeau Pass

By Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center April 11, 2016

circa 1930s

2009

The expanse of Sperry Glacier that once greeted hikers facing NE on Comeau Pass is in stark contrast to the bedrock and vegetation that has since emerged as the ice retreated. The Marble image, most likely taken in the 1920s or early 1930s, was featured on a postcard with this caption: " Sperry Glacier from the river."
