Mount Rainier National Park in Washington is one of my favorite places to photograph. The park has so many amazing landscapes to explore and admire. I always find something new and exciting to experience. Late last summer, I decided to hike the Naches Peak trail near Chinook Pass. To make a start at first light,…

It’s not pristine wilderness, but timberland, farms, and Willapa Bay are a great excuse to escape the city. Because…
