Saint Mary Lake is the second
largest lake in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana. Located
on the east side of the park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road parallels the lake
along its north shore. At an altitude of 4,484 feet, Saint Mary Lake's waters
are colder and lie almost 1,500 feet
higher in altitude than Lake McDonald, the
largest lake in the park, which is located on the west side of the Continental
Divide. Here, the great plains end and the Rocky Mountains begin in an abrupt
5,000 feet altitude change.
