Photo @materas // I realized a while ago that one of my favorite parts of camping in the wilderness is to wake up in the wilderness. Witnessing a sunrise in the mountains, camped next to a precipice one one side and a glacier on the other, with no one else around, is an extraordinary experience. The North Cascades happily indulged me on this morning a few weeks ago. Follow me @materas for more images like this from the North Cascades and around the world. #northcascades #wilderness #sunrise
