Getting to the Indian Henry Hunting Grounds on Mount Rainier was no doubt the hardest I've pushed myself, and definitely the most I have sworn in a 6 hour span in my entire life Fellow brotog Dustin Gent and I were expecting a nice 3 hour hike up here with the occasional hill, but with our 50 pound packs and over 3000 feet of climbing to do it absolutely killed both of us in twice that time.

After doing 24Km in 24 hours, I was a zombie when we got back to our vehicle. It was all worth it though cause I came back with a little piece of gold

Thanks for checking it out! Best result when viewed twice daily with a full glass of water, and on a calibrated monitor of course

It was worth all the trouble Justin; fantastic image. Beautiful processing of the foreground to background.

I think "24k Gold" is more suited for the picture. Nice!

50 lbs sounds a little excessive for back packing - but the pic definitely made it worth all that effort! This pic is a classic - 5 stars!

I knew I had seen this scene before! Thought I was going crazy. Bryan Swan has a shot from the same spot on the same night, noticed in his description he mentioned seeing you and Dustin.

Killer shot dude.. perfectly executed. Same pretty awesome conditions you were treated to for such a hard journey, you must be in positive karma

Gorgeous. I envy you the will and ability to do that sort of hike. It takes you to another dimension of photography.

Yeah I agree, it was way to much weight! This was only my second overnight hike so I didn't really know what to bring, and my gear isn't all that light to begin with. I probably didn't need to bring all my lenses either hahaha!

Yeah we met Bryan and Jamey Pyles at that hut in the background. Nice dudes, and super talented too! I have the same exact comp that Bryan won thread of the week with a while ago but I wanted to post something different with a more in-your-face shot. His was slightly better then my comp anyways

Thanks Ben. No reason to envy. In all honesty, you can get equally nice views from the easy access of paradise park, and the flowers there are on par or better then this location. The mountain is beautiful from all angles!

Justin, really nice in Firefox on my calibrated monitor and if you click mouse on top of photos now Fred Miranda views them in black box. Guess that feature is new or I just noticed?
