Mount Madison Winter Sunset

While this ultra wide-angle perspective doesn't convey the size and scale of the peaks in the background, it gives a great impression of the feeling of being there next to this rime-covered cairn on Mount Madison just as the sun goes behind the shoulder of Mount Adams. This enviroment is so hard to describe to those who have never been up here in winter. These peaks are truly huge and impressive. Being above treeline feels like being on another planet. Everything seems hostile to human presence, but at the same time incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring. I'm so glad I am able to do these hikes and grateful for the friends who are able to join. This time we had Colin Zwirner and Garrett Evans. I can't wait for the next adventure, this stuff is honestly addictive.
