This pass is a little remote, about 15 miles off the highway and on top of a divide at 6,000 feet. The first two photos were looking south and southeast, the last looking northwest.

The moon was very pretty that night. The sky was very clear. II wished that I had a tripod with me though.

The subtle colors and tones in these photographs are amazing. You really have replicated the true spirit of landscapes the few get to see!

It is surprising how well the camera handles those subtle colors.
It’s true that few do get to see scenes like these. I wish so much that more could: it might make a difference in the way they consider our planet. It’s rugged, yet as fragile as those shades of light, but always beautiful.

Very peaceful and serene shots …. a great example of how “awe” inspiring our world is.

I fervently hope it truly is untamable. There are many who are trying to “tame” it, change it, manage it, exploit it.

As much as I love flowers… I so enjoy seeing your scenic shots of the area and the big skies! These are all lovely… I especially like the orange glow on the horizon in the last one. 🙂

I like the last one too. I believe that the farthest mountains, just a dim trace of them visible, are in Glacier Park.

It was a nice cool evening up there. The following morning dawned with a stiff breeze and cold enough for a warm jacket.

The nights are beautiful on the mountaintops and high ridges. I think I spend too few nights in the high country. I will change that.

Mountains seem to fold into themselves at dusk and during storms. The perspectives change. The distances appear altered. Nice shots.

Very few photographs prod me into cleaning my laptop’s screen. That last shot did. Actually… it may be the only one that ever did that. Thanks!

There is some very pretty country to the north of that pass. Viewing it at dusk just seems to whet the appetite for it.

Love the multiple layers of ridges receeding into the distance, each one a lighter shade of blue than the last.

Vermilion Pass is an interesting place. The last photo was taken in the Lolo Forest, the Kaniksu National Forest is to the left and the Kootenai is in the distance. What places to explore!

Beautiful images. I have been finding that around sunset is one of my favorite times to shoot.

Peaceful it is, and completely silent at night. The kind of place everyone should visit once in awhile.
