Reflection Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

After spending the night photographing the stars at Mount Rainier, I got up early for sunrise at Reflection Lakes.

The water was nearly still, with a thin layer of mist drifting across the lake. The first sunlight was beginning to reach the trees and foreground grasses.

It was a quiet and peaceful way to finish the photoshoot.

Mount Rainier rises above a dense evergreen forest and reflects in the still blue water of Reflection Lake. Thin morning mist drifts along the far shoreline, while golden grasses frame the foreground beneath a clear sky. The scene feels quiet, crisp, and deeply peaceful.

Morning light on Mount Rainier

While photographing Mount Rainier last week, I noticed the first morning light beginning to reach the upper mountain above the dark forest below.

I liked the contrast between the bright snow and rock on Rainier and the layers of trees beneath it. The forest really helps show just how massive the mountain is from this viewpoint.

One of those scenes that made me stop and take a closer look. 📷

Mount Rainier rises above a dark evergreen forest, with warm morning light catching the upper snowfields, glaciers, and exposed rock. The mountain fills much of the frame while the dense forest below adds depth and scale. A clear blue sky surrounds the summit, emphasizing the contrast between the bright mountain and darker trees. The photo feels expansive, calm, and powerful.
