“Embarrassed”

Headed out on my days off from the gallery to take Foxy for a hike and shoot sunset. I have done a ton of hiking in the North Cascades, literally thousands of miles. I am embarrassed to say I had never done this hike before! What! How can that be? Did I think I had already done it? I don’t think so. In my mind are there just too many other good hikes in the area to return to? I am not sure how something like this can happen. I am perplexed. Or maybe the universe just wanted me to hold off to hike it at this time, in this moment, so I could have this experience. I will go with that, as Foxy and I had a truly magical experience. I loved the hike up through the Old Growth Forest, then breaking out into meadows, then hiking around the summit to come up the backside to discover a 360 view. (For now, this hike must remain unnamed, sorry) Then a beautiful night hike out! … I will certainly be back to shoot this again and again. A little earlier in the summer when wildflowers are out, as it looked like there was a ton, and again in the fall when the blueberries turn color. Whatever the reason this was not on my radar before it sure is now, and I cannot wait to do it again. Thank you so much for looking.

Ptarmigan dressed for winter season

The moon rises, a small solar light illuminates our tent, and the stars spin over Mt. Shuksan during a long exposure.

 

This vantage point was exposed and quite windy. Sarah came out and kept me company for a bit, but as soon as the wine was gone.....so was she ;) I was in the middle of an exposure and didn't really want a headlamp trail back to the tent in this image. The moon came up from behind the mountain, and we left the 'porch light' on, so she was able to make her way back to camp.

 

I had planned for an even longer exposure, and hadn't planned on the moon rising. When it did, I gave it another minute or two and then tripped the shutter to avoid overexposure. As with shooting film, I didn't know what impact the rising moon made. I'm happy that it allowed the stars to shine while lighting the rest of the kingdom and our little temporary residence.

Fall Color and Mt Baker From Yellow Aster Butte in the Mt Baker Wilderness in Washington...

"Baker Appears!" From my fall hiking in the North Cascades, Mt Baker Made an appearance as it came out of hiding behind the foreground mountain. The North Cascades are such a beautiful place for hiking and roaming! Already can't wait for next fall to come again!

Hiking the Rainbow ridge snow fields, Mt. Baker Wilderness.

Color slide film converted to Black/White in Photoshop.

There weren't a whole lot of places to sit on this hike. Without a lot of open fields, it was three days of our butts looking for the flat side of a rock or sitting in the dirt....not great for the lower back. The first couple days we enjoyed this flat rock shelf along the lake. Great spot to take a nap or dry off after a dip.

 

We noramlly hike with thermarest sleep pads along with a little cloth/nylon system to rig in into a chair with a back. It's a thin mat, so not super comfortable to sleep on (especially if you're a side sleeper like me), but the chair option is great. Before this trip we upgraded our mats to a Big Agnes....way more comfortable to sleep on, but no chair function. After perching ourselves on uncomfortable rocks/slopes we bit the bullet and bought some lightweight tent pole chairs.

Our first night out in the Mt. Baker Wilderness. We hiked in 5 miles, skirting three beautiful lakes and found this spot to set up camp. Partial shade to escape the sun, great view to the north into Canada, and only about 40 ft away from Arbuthnot Lake....perfect for drinking/cooking water or taking a dip.

 

A pair of crocs or other sort of strapped/breathable sandle is a must while backpacking. Always feels great to take the boots off and let the dogs breath a bit ;)

After getting up at 2:30 in the morning to drive three hours to be at the lake for sunrise, I was hoping for more awesome dawn colors.

 

Still the mist on the water was kind of cool,
