Mount Rainier, Washington.

There is something special about summer in the alpine. Captured at Mount Rainier National Park during peak wildflower season, this photograph brings together everything I love about spending time in the mountains during summer.

A meadow filled with wildflowers catches the warm evening light, while Mount Rainier rises in the distance, partially shrouded in clouds. The air is warm but carries that familiar coolness of the high country, filled with the scent of wildflowers and the sounds of a busy alpine meadow.

It's one of those experiences that's difficult to put into words, but one that stays with you long after you've left. A little glimpse of what makes summer in the mountains so special.
