When you have walked over 2,000 miles through almost every environment that exists on this planet in a matter of 5 months it truly takes something amazing to grab your attention from the trail and make you stop and stare in awe. This scene did it for us. We entered the Alpine Lakes Wilderness right outside of Snoqualmie, WA last week. My words cannot describe the scenes we saw and these pictures don't even come close to capturing the moments of awe this sunrise created. We awoke this morning with howling winds and clouds, yes clouds blowing by our tent at Ridge Lake.
