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 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.
