Mt. St. Helens Bear Grass Rising Above the Clouds

This was sure a beautiful scene as the fog rolled in below the mountain perch where I photographed these Bear Grass flowers rising above the clouds. It did, however, pose some major navigation challenges hiking out in the thick fog in the dark with headlamp. I literally could not see the trail in places because the fog was so thick making me completely reliant on my GPS cell phone navigation. Luckily my battery held out until I was out of the danger zone!
