This is my submission for the #monomad challenge
About two years ago I set off with two friends to try something a bit daring and also a bit crazy - we decided to hike up a trail we'd never been up just before sunset and spend the night there in hopes of capturing a beautiful sunrise.
After a grueling drive up a forest road, the hike starts with a beautiful meadow and quickly ascends nearly 700m (2100ft) to the rocky summit.

We never got to see the sunset that night. But we did see some incredible stars, shimmering between the whisps of wind blown clouds. And a few moments of beautiful clear night sky as well.
Morning came, and it wasn't quite what we'd expected. But it was absolutely incredible still. An absolutely epic night to remember for a long time. My friends and I to this day still think back on this journey and trip we made happen.

Looks like it was totally worth it!
Wow, this sounds like quite the daring adventure.. and with that beautiful morning light and those views, I'd say absolutely worth the effort! Just beautiful!
Unreal shots Geoff & such a cool adventure
In particular I love that second last black/white image with those sunrays 👌
Thanks Dale. Ya it really was an incredible experience, we still reference it sometimes as the best night if photography potential we've had. Incredible clouds, stars, sunrise. It was amazing

Really enjoyed the second shot; the wildflowers in the foreground. Great job!

Thank you sir! The wildflowers up in the Alpine Meadows are so special. It's something I keep trying to capture again and again, but getting the right time of year for a full bloom is so difficult!
