View On Black Much better viewed large!

The start of a “strenuous” hike according to the official trail map. About three miles of rocky uphill hikin’ with forty pounds of camera equipment and absolutely no regrets! The beginning of the Rainbow Falls trail with littered with beauty in every direction. A perfect way to start a vacation!

Regrets are far heavier than any camera or camping gear. This looks like a fantastic hike worth every step. A great nature shot, Shane!

Seen on your photo stream. (?)

Another excellent shot. I really like the perspective on this one. I too need to get an ND filter, among other things.
