Far above the lush green valleys of North Cascades National Park lies a remote alpine zone full of dramatic peaks, glaciers, and mountain goats. This specific image was taken from Sahale Glacier Camp, a 13 mile, 4,000 feet of gain hike from the trailhead. This campsite is often considered the loneliest campsite in America. But not to worry - the goats will keep you company! While I saw goats all over the place (see “King of the Cascades”), this image focused on the landscape. I have never seen mountain layers like I did atop this vista. Sharp, jagged peaks stretched for miles in all directions. If you look closely, you can even see Mount Rainier in the distance! In this image, it’s easy to see how fast these peaks rise. The color change from shades of lush green to stark gray couldn’t be more clear.
