Earlier this month I’d planned on spending a weekend backpacking at Willow Lakes, in the Eagles Nest Wilderness – a place that has been on my “must photograph” list for a long time. Unfortunately, I had to cancel/postpone that trip, yet again. I couldn’t get that location out of my mind and I just couldn’t bear to let it slip away, yet again, this summer. So yesterday I woke at 1:15am and drove to the trailhead and hit the trail. Roughly 5.5 miles of hiking in the dark landed me at the location shown below at just the right time.

I’ll post more images from this area later this week…
