Shuksan Sunrise
Greetings from Colorado and RMNP - My wife and I backpacked on Copper Ridge in North Cascades NP last week and I thought I'd share an image. We've wanted to trek there for a long time and were blown away by the fairy tale mountains and deep fir forest valleys. We're already trying to figure out how to get back. Our weather was either full-on rain or not a cloud in the sky........ and the huckleberries - oh man!

This is sunrise on Mount Shuksan and Jagged Ridge from Hannegan Peak

Thanks for looking - the work on this forum is top shelf!

Nikon D300, 16-85mm lens at 40mm, lightweight Gitzo, 1/60 @ f8

Hi Dave! Sounds like you had a great time up here. I'm a bit jealous; I've explored a bit since moving here but haven't made it to that area yet. (And I've only had a handful of huckleberries so far this year!)

You caught some great splashes of light, thanks for posting one over here.
