Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho

Idaho mountains with Alice Lake

I have made many tips into the Sawtooths. Of the places that I have been one of my favorites is Alice Lake. It is about a 6 mile walk in and about 2K feel in elevation climb and the trail is in great shape. 3 creek crossings, but on this trip I did not have to get my feet wet, plenty of logs and rocks.
This shot was taken last August. The morning shoot, sunrise, was OK, but it was a cloudless sky. Then all of a sudden the sky filled with the puffy whites. They last about 15 mins then dissipated and we were back to blue sky. I worked my composition to have something the foreground to break up the clouds, and this rock fit the bill. I also have an image on my web site with a log in the foreground.
I do recommend the hiking to this lake, you can do it in and out a day, but I would camp as I did, much more relaxing.
