Ice and Fire: four days in the Glacier Peak Wilderness
Ice and fire is story about Spider Glacier, the Blue Lake fire, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Milky Way, and much more. My good friend Dan guided me on a 30+ mile journey through the Glacier Peak Wilderness and I documented our four-day (plus one), three night (plus two) hike with a GoPro Hero 11 and my 12mm Samyang lens with a Sony Alpha 6300 mirrorless camera.
