We’ve been enjoying great sunsets this week in the Cascades. This shot was taken last night by good friend and professional photographer Keith Gunnar from his home on Whidbey Island, Washington.
The image is looking across the inland waters of Puget Sound to some of the smaller peaks on the western fringe of the North Cascades, the Baring, Merchant, and Gunn Peak groups.
Skiing and climbing have both been excellent this week and should be next week too with more snow on the way. A Denali Prep course heads out on Sunday morning, and the team should have Denali-like conditions..
Last night’s low on the summit of Mt. Baker was 4°F, but tonight it will move down into negative numbers.
