Camaraderie
When I go backpacking, I go with friends, and more often than not, with a photography mindset. I often hike solo and fast because I want to reach camp early and still have time to walk around to scout for compositions. However, I also know that backpacking is probably one of the few times left in this society that we can really spend quality times together as life gets into its simplest form and people share same joy and sufferings at the same time.
This was the first morning on my 2022 Enchantments backpacking trip. I woke up well before sunrise and led my friends to this ridge because I knew it would be epic once the sun rises above horizon and all the golden larches are lit. Indeed this turned out to be an epic morning. We had the entire ridge to ourselves and watched the best view slowly revealing itself right in front of us. I snapped this photo with one of my friend sitting among the larches bathing in the warm morning light and this photo represents the best memory of that morning.
