The Hatcher Pass State Park is about 25 miles from the studio and provides a excellent assortment of groomed trails for every level of ability. I love exploring the area during the winter, especially around the historic buildings from the gold mining days. This day the light was very flat and not good for photography, but I’ll be back again soon for some serious research for winter subject matter. With the right light I find the patterns of light and shadow in this alpine retreat to be stunning.
