Cloudhidden: My photos from hiking Mt Adams, a Cascade Volcano

Taken at Sunrise. The night before it was very windy. I think I slept ouside my tent in my bag, however, that way I don't miss a star, the moon, the dawn. Or maybe this was one of those times we were short a sleeping bag, and it was cold and uncomfortable, sitting awake waiting for morning to dawn! Oh well, some things you think you will never forget, but you do.
