Alpenglow

Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Mounument, Washington

I was heading back from Johnston Ridge when I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the last vestiges of sunlight striking the crater rim of Mount St. Helens.  I was the last person off the mountain that evening, but I had still left too early.  I managed to set up the camera in time to catch the sunset alpenglow of sunset on the mountain.
