Sometimes When One Looks Back, One Catches an Amazing View (Capitol Reef National Park)
While going up this portion of the Chimney Rock Loop and trail, I often looked back to see just how far I'd hiked. Sometimes though (and especially as I neared in the final portion of the ascent), I'd turn around and see what could only be described as an awe inspiring view. This was one of those points and a look to the northwest across the national park. I pulled back on the focal length and used a wide angle view in order to capture some of the nearby foreground as a layered or step-like view to more distant points. Angling my SLR camera downward also complemented that and minimized what I find is a flattening of high points and mountains. In the lower portion, one will notice the hiking trail that I walked on and just how high up I was on this portion of the trail.
