On the edge of Swiftcurrent Lake in Glacier National Park lies the Many Glacier Hotel. This Swiss themed hotel was built between 1910 and 1914 and I must say that this was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at location wise.
The rooms are a bit dated but contribute to the close to nature feeling as they feel like you’re staying in a cabin. The lobby is just wonderful, with an open fireplace located in the middle and live music playing all evening. And what more could a man want than to sit by his loved one, watching the sun go down over Swiftcurrent Lake, enjoying a very nice “Moose Drool” beer.
When I asked the bartender which beers he had, he mentioned he had a new Belgian beer called “Fat Tire”… I started to doubt my Belgian beer knowledge until I later saw a beer in a shop called “Fat Tire” by the New Belgium Brewing Company. Americans sure are original with brand names :)

Good shot, but isn’t the area around the hotel a little bright considering the overall mood, and position of the sun? The picture risks falling apart in two layers, mountain+lake in the back and a hotel “cardboard cutout” in the front…

But that’s just me being picky :)

I was thinking the same thing and tried several things like trying to reduce the exposure of the bottom part, but the picture did not quite pop out then. I guess this is what you get when you combine different exposures…
