7.8.17 - As I hustled along the trail at an obscenely early hour, I could see the colors in the sky were vivid and rapidly shifting. Unfortunately I arrived at this viewpoint around 4:50, about five minutes after the colors peaked, though they were still spectacular. While this may look overly saturated, the truth is I actually had to pull down the saturation in Photoshop because the colors were so radiant it looked fake.

7.7.17 - This is the most vividly turquoise water I've ever seen, and there's just so much of it. I took dozens of photos here as the sun went down, and will undoubtedly post more later. For now just a few quick edits from the road. Suffice to say North Cascades is a true gem of a park due to both its sheer grandeur and how remote and empty it is.
