Sunshine on Eagle Cap

Sunshine on Eagle Cap

This is by far my favorite image of the trip, but I almost didn't take it. You know how it is, when you backpack with other people that don't go very often, you feel obligated to try and make it fun for them. Well, sometimes because of this, I choose to not take a shot that maybe I should. In this case I started talking about the shot and was encouraged by the group to take it and catch them on the trail. I am so glad that I did.

Another rewarding thing about this shot is that I planned for it. By that I mean I scouted out on Google Earth where I thought the best vantage point would be from a body of water. Almost every other shot I saw was from Mirror Lake, but to me Sunshine Lake seemed much more promising. My hunch was correct and this was a truly beautiful view of the lake from a pretty little lake.

So, this is Eagle Cap peak taken from Sunshine Lake.

Eagle Cap Reflection

Eagle Cap Reflection

The clouds didn't want to cooperate the evening of this shot. The funny thing is it was filled with them all afternoon as we hiked. The reflection was still nice though so I took a few shots. I guess the lake (Mirror Lake) lived up to its name in this one.

Zebra Slot

Zebra Slot

One stop you have to do when in Grand Staircase - Escalante is Zebra Canyon. The hike isn't that far and the slot is lots of fun.

For this shot I shimmied up above the floor and wedged my tripod into the walls to get these bands of color. Enjoy.
