Reflection of Shuksan Mountain in Picture Lake

A tranquil reflection of the snow-capped Mount Shuksan dominates this serene alpine scene from within the crystal-clear waters of Picture Lake at North Cascades National Park. Autumn's touch has painted the surrounding forest with vibrant reds amidst the evergreens while two hikers explore the lakeside path, dwarfed by nature's grandeur under an expansive blue sky.
