Snow Lake Basin

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

This was supposed to be an autumn hike to Snow Lake in Mount Rainier National Park, but snow began to fall as I was on the trail.  The landscape got a dusting of white, I was fully prepared for a change in the weather, and I was able to come away with a great experience and some wonderful images.
