Aaron Cowan > This is one of my favorite shots of Kathryn Lake taken during our short one night backpacking trip.  I decided (unfortunately probably) to not get up before sunrise.  I instead got up about 30 minutes afterwards and quickly got my gear and went out.  I determined the previous afternoon that this spot would look good in the morning aside from the dark trees on the left.  I particularly like the rocks that can seen the bottom portion of the frame.
Aaron Cowan > Kathryn Lake in the Sawtooth Wilderness.  Kathryn Lake has no official trail or any semblance of a trail going to the lake.  It was a very arduous seven mile hike with an additional 500 feet of climb that we shouldn't have done since we really didn't know how to get over there (we were hoping to find a trail).  I decided to sleep in a little so I missed the best light, but this is one of the best lakes in the Sawtooths.  There is a tremendous view of Redfish Creek Canyon from this lake.

Aaron Cowan > Morning light on the pinnacles of Pass Lake's cirque.  The small creek comes from a spring which then flows into Pass Lake, leading to the West Fork of Pahsimeroi River.

Aaron Cowan > Leatherman Peak and Pass Lake.  Our camp was at Pass Lake (a very beautiful area) and I was going to wait until sunset time to take some photos of Leatherman Peak.  The late afternoon light was pretty good so I figured I'd go over to the far side of the lake to scout out some shots.  I ultimately decided to go back and get my gear and take some shots since I didn't know if sunset would be good or not.  The sunset was blocked by clouds so this was some of the best available light of the afternoon.
