This was taken at Sunrise during sunrise. I hope you enjoy!

If you want to know more about our adventurous trip, Ron did all the work for me.



UPDATE: Some hikers up at Mt. Rainier found my wallet! :barb

Very nice Danny. Love the soft tones. It's amazing what you guys go through to get these shots. Sorry about your wallet and frostbite.

Nice shot, Danny. Not sure on the chronology--was this before or after the stupid human trick?

Glad you made it OK and got some nice shots. I can't say I would do anything that "desperate" for a shot--which is why your work is so much better than mine!!:D

Nice shot, Danny! I think the lost wallet, minor frost bite at the finger tips, and the frozen camera/tripod combo was worth it. There is great highlight and shadow detail here and the expansive view is simply breath-taking. Hard work paid off!

Very nice! I would have processed my photo but I'm still sleep-walking. Hopefully I'll recover in a day or two

Sunrise is definitely the spot for sunrise right now with the sun rising directly in front of the mountain, a little later (late August) Tipsoo will have better alpenglow.

Serene, perfect, beautiful! Definitely worth the trip. Hopefully worth the headache of a lost wallet.

I'd consider this to be a bit of an anomaly. I don't usually do anything near this stupid to take a picture. We had already driven a couple hours, then hiked for at least an hour more just to get to this location so I wasn't going to say forget it because of a little patch of snow. Next time I'll be a bit more prepared.

Thanks. This shot was taken after the SHT. We had to cross over the snow and ice in order to get to this location in time for sunrise.

Being a poor college student, I have to say that losing a wallet really sucks. I think this is one case where it wasn't exactly worth getting the picture but nothing can be done about the past. To think about it positively, at least I got to witness sunrise in a beautiful location.

I would love to get back up there at least one more time this summer. This was a really fun trip.

Not exactly the best trade-off but I did have a great time. Thanks for your comment!
