As the Trapper Creek Fire in Glacier National Park comes dangerously close to the Loop on July 23, 2003, Kim Barger, left, and Katie Weaver of Missoula take pictures of each other posing in front of the approaching fire. Shortly after the photo was taken, the women and others at the Loop were told to leave by park rangers and Going-to-the-Sun Road was closed. For more on the fires of 2003, go to Page A4.
