Zooming in as far as I can toward the North East shows the peaks in more detail and that interesting cloud spread across the sky above them. The I-90 hiway is visible below as it curves across the bottom of the frame.

Another view toward the North East from Rattlesnake Ledge. The land is still dark though the sky is begining to brighten. This is an underexposed shot to try to show the amount of light visible to the eye when I reached the Ledge. My camera and lens will show it much brighter if left to its own adjustments.

Looking North from Rattlesnake Ledge was especially beautiful. Fog was settled thick in the valley like a bridal train flowing around and behind Mount Si. Mount Baker is a small white dot in the distance. The flank of Rattlesnake Mountain is visible to the left.

This is the pre-sunrise view toward the North East from Rattlesnake Ledge. The fog that clothes the valleys is barely reaching up into this area from the left. In this edit I wanted to emphasize the fog's reach into the upper valley. The mountains ahead are part of the Cascade chain of mountains that traverse the entire length of Washington State.

The view from the lake at the foot of Rattlesnake Mountain up to the Cascade mountains where the sun will soon appear. It is a 2 mile hike (3,2 km) from the parking lot to the overlooking ledge and a gain of 1160 feet (353,6 m).

The view at 7:25 AM from Rattlesnake Ledge; the sun is about 30 minutes from rising. After a 1.9 mile hike in the dark, my dog Chloe and I arrived panting at the edge of the Ledge to see this sight. This shot was intentionally underexposed to get an all black mountain ridge. The sliver of light below the mountain ridge on the right third of the picture is a lake.
