A few of our favorite views 💫

The pictures are great, but the photos only tell half the story.

But what you don't see is the uphill trail with a full pack, the rain that hit right when tents were going up, or the hours spent clearing invasive weeds in the sun. You don't see the dinners cooked over a camp stove or the fact that two weeks earlier, no one in these photos knew each other.

The work it takes to get these views is where the best stories come from.
