Sunrise at Idaho's El Capitan Peak

from $75.00

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 there. I had circled the lake a few times while staying there and decided that I would take the loop trail around the lake on my way out to capture the best sunrise views. This brought me back to the main trail before passing a couple of unnamed lakes that have an excellent view of El Capitan Peak. As I was passing these lakes, the sun was just coming over the horizon, making a perfect opportunity to capture the rising sun in a reflection image. I was particularly excited about this one, and it turned out great.
