Enchantments - a hazy sunrise

This was the second morning during my Enchantments backpacking trip this fall season. Compared to the first morning, it got much hazer due to the ongoing wildfires. I could smell the smoke when I was scrambling up this ridge. As you can see it was a cloudless morning and I didn't get any pre-sunrise color that I had hoped. But when the sun rose high enough and illuminated the hazy landscape, it is a very unique scene to capture, especially with the peak golden larches and snow lake in the frame.
