The Hoh River

As the sun was setting, and we set up camp along the banks of the Hoh River, 12 miles of backpacking got the best of me. Instead of reaching for my tripod for this longer exposure, I opted to balance the camera on a rock. Of course that wasn't any easier, but in the end, the result was still the same. As the day turned to night, we made a roaring fire and we each found a comfortable place to lay on the stone strewn river bed. We watched the stars slowly turn and the sound of cool blue glacier water eased us all to sleep. The next day, we left the river valley and rainforest to make the grueling but epic climb to where this river originates, the Blue Glacier on Mt. Olympus.
