Day 14 Elevation Vacation…..….night edition
I have always wanted to get a photo of a mountain in a moon lit glow and stars in the background. Last night was the time.
I hiked up to a spot on the Pinnacle Peak trail and set up a place to sit and watch the magic happen starting at 9:30PM.
I had to put on my wind pants and bug face mask because even at 6,000’, the bugs were looking for a meal.
I thought that by 10:30, I could start to see the stars, but that was a no, except for straight over head. 11PM, was the start…….WOW!
Here are 4 pics of the magic in order, by 11:30, I was getting cold plus the moon was starting to get too low.
Enjoy. We travel to North Cascades NP for a quick 2 day visit to finish up this Elevation Vacation.
Until next time……. LET’S GO
