Palouse Falls
We stopped here on the way home from Glacier. Shot sunrise, and setup camp to sleep for awhile and then woke up and took off to Rainier for sunset.
The camp host was wandering through camp so just out of curiousity, I asked her if she had seen any rattlesnakes. Sure enough, she had a couple of stories to tell :) 2 weeks ago, a woman was hiking in sandles on one of the trails and she was bitten in the leg, and they had to rush her to the nearest hospital (40 minutes away). She said by the time they got there her leg was pretty swolen.
Then Just a week ago, a couple was camping, and the women got up to use the restroom, and she stepped on what she thought was a hose... until it started moving. She was lucky that she didn't get bitten, and her husband killed the snake with a frying pan..
I usually keep my posts sort of short, but just wanted to give people a heads up that there are snakes all over this area, and if you visit, be super careful :)
Anyone that has photographed this location knows that it's a very wide seen, and if you shoot horizontal, you won't get much sky at all. I decided to stitch 4 vertical shots because I liked the cloud action up higher.. Still not sure how much I like this one, but thanks for looking!
