Lake Islands at Sunrise
Horizontal orientation. 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 and sunrise there. I packed up my campsite early so that I could be at some great spots when the sun was rising. Just after 6:00 some color began to appear at blue hour. These lush green islands in the lake fascinated me, and in the early dawn they reflected perfectly in the lavender tinted water. The mountains, although still shadowed in the blue hour light stood firmly in the early light, reflecting on the glassy lake surface. It doesn’t get much better than this!
