I emerged from the forest around Lake Josephine to find mountains looming all around the water with a backdrop of puffy clouds.

The hike had barely begun before Grinnell Glacier Trail awed with its beauty.

A rainy and moody trek down slippery rocks, through lonesome wilderness. I was somewhat worried, a bit more sodden and annoyed, but mostly excited.

A rainy day yields a lush vista while hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail in the Many Glacier section of Glacier National Park.

A ranger-led hike at Glacier National Park along the Saint Mary Lake, with mountains looming in the distance.

Rubicon Trail along Lake Tahoe affords majestic views.
