This week for #MountainMonday I have the iconic scene of Mount Shuksan and Picture Lake in Washington State. One of the most photographed mountains in the area, and you can see why.
For #MountainMonday - The Golden Ears (Mount Blanshard, Blanshard Needle) on a mostly clear day with some fresh late winter snow. Photographed from Pitt Meadows, British, Columbia, Canada.
Having a hard time getting started today. I'd rather be back out on top of a mountain.
A short backpacking trip this weekend was what I needed. Perfect weather, basically no one else on the trail, and the spring closest to the ridge we camped on was actually flowing!
And the sunrise over the Shenandoah River valley and Shenandoah National Park was beautiful.
For #MountainMonday. I thought I'd post this now before the onslaught of real eclipse photos, fake eclipse photos, and AI eclipse photos. This is Mount Baker (Komo Kulshan) in Washington State with a rather nice bit of sunset light on the clouds behind.
The silence felt in the Canadian Rockies gives you the impression these mountains feel your presence. You be witness in their observation, as you pass through their space. A place where time formed long before you and will remain long after you. With feelings so strong, it stays with you even after you've left. The Icefields Parkway can do this for those who pass through. #mountains#MountainMonday#icefieldsparkway#canada#canadianrockies
Took some people for their first ever snowshoeing experience today after some good snow came in yesterday.
Good sunshine on the morning with some great views back from the easy track that leads up to the mountain hut at Sorteny. We had a hot drink and returned the same way. The sun started to melt the more exposed areas on the return.
For #MountainMonday here is colorful Mount Perry, a peak in the northern Black Mountains of Death Valley National Park.
The hike to Mount Perry's summit starts at Dante's View and is pretty much "uphill both ways", with a distance of 8.5 miles. From Dante's View one first loses about 800 feet in elevation — and then has to gain it back. And the same on the way back out of course. 🤪
For #MountainMonday - The moon rises over Mount Blanshard from Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada.
I wasn't planning this, but apparently others were (back in 2008) as I recall photographers in small groups along the side of the road waiting for the moon to rise. I had no idea what that might be about until it came up over the mountain.
The fourth consecutive photo from my camp at Marble Canyon, this time looking NE—Lee's Ferry is just behind the leftmost ridge. I used 70mm to isolate the peak.
For #MountainMonday: Raven Peak and fall foliage photographed from the Pitt Polder Dike at the Smohk'wa Marsh in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada.
