Last Light at Hidden Lake
Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain - Glacier National Park

This summer I completed eight fantastic weeks leading workshops for students, at the Parks & Rec. Department. I have been doing this since 2006, starting in Bend, Oregon. Thanks to digital, increasingly more teens are becoming interested in photography. Since that first year, the focus has gone from pop bands and love-life, to wanting to actually learn about photography.
The downside is I have completed just one photo shoot this entire year. Therefore, I decided to head out to Glacier National Park for a few days. Although it was an amazing time, I was generally disappointed with the images I captured. However, there is one image that came out as planned, which I will post later.
One main reason for taking this trip was to photograph Reynolds Creek Cascades (nicknamed Triple Falls); however the area was closed due to the delicate nature of the tundra. Even though I knew the exact location of the cascades, I decided I would not risk destroying delicate plant life for the sake of one shot. Instead I took the one-and-a-half-mile Hidden Lake Trail, to photograph this sunset view of the lake and Bearhat Mountain.
