Stone Cairn and Open Clearing on Mount Hale
Mount Hale's summit cairn overlooks a broad gravel clearing ringed by spruce beneath building summer clouds.
Loose gray stones fill the foreground beside a dark pack and the edge of the summit forest. The view rotates across the open, rock-scattered clearing and a line of evergreens.
Photographer’s field note
The circular clearing, rather than a distant vista, defines the character of this wooded summit.
