Alice Lake Sunset Panorama
Horizontal orientation, panorama 1:3 ratio. Canvas prints are available with optional barnwood or hardwood floating frames hand-crafted by the photographer, making a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please see images for details.
The magnificent Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho are popular for photography, as well as hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. The Alice-Toxaway Loop is one of the most popular hikes in the Stanley area, beginning at the Tin Cup Trailhead and passing Farley, Toxaway, Twin, and Alice Lakes along the way. I backpacked the loop the last week of July 2026, taking 2 nights and 3 days. My wanderings to photograph waterfalls, creeks, lakes, and wildflowers made the 19-mile hike into a little over 33 miles! I stayed my second night at Alice Lake and enjoyed a beautiful sunset there. I had circled the lake a few times earlier in the day looking for good vantage points to capture sunset photos, and I returned when the sun began descending behind the mountain. From this point I was able to capture about a 180 degree panorama including the sun on the horizon, and the last light on Idaho’s El Capitan peak on the east end of the lake. The lake did not calm much for another hour or so, but the ripples were gentle, and give character to this image.
