Edit: for those wondering, this is Glacier Peak seen from near Rainier, NOT Rainier itself.
I grabbed this shot up near Sunrise Visitor Center last year around summertime. We had spend the night down by Tipsoo Lake and after waking up in a sea of fog I knew we had to try to get higher. If any of you have driven the road up to Sunrise Visitor Center you know it’s not one that you can “rush” and unfortunately we got to watch the best colors of sunrise from the car as we did our best to prevent getting carsick going around the sharpest corners you can imagine. The colors had faded, but early morning light was just starting to kiss the mountaintops as we arrived at the visitor center. I grabbed my back and started running up the hill to try and get a good vantage point. After what felt like forever and nearly dying I finally reached the top and views like this were in all directions. What an amazing morning!
As always, thanks for viewing! If you would like to see more of my photos please feel free to follow me on Instagram or check out my website www.rosssvhphoto.com

For those curious why I am posting from a different username - Reddit keeps shadowbanning me for some reason and won’t reply, so I guess I had to make a new account.

This makes me want to quit my jobs, sell my car and hop on a plane immediately.
