This was taken early August 2023 in the middle of a four day long photo execution where I only got a little sleep here and there. I slept in my car three hours before getting up and hiking to this spot just in time for sunrise. There was a marine layer over the valleys with only the largest and tallest peaks poking out through the clouds. This is looking at the Cowlitz Chimneys and Banshee Peak area near Mount Rainer and I took it from atop a ridge in the sunrise area of Mount Rainer National Park. I used my Tamron 70-180mm lens on a tripod to take multiple images and stitch them together creating a massively detailed panorama of this scene.
