High on Mount Shuksan’s Summit Pyramid, a faint climbers’ trail winds upward through wind-sculpted snow toward the sharp, glowing summit. Bathed in soft evening light, the snow ridge reveals elegant textures and delicate shadows that trace the route to one of the North Cascades’ most iconic peaks. This aerial photograph captures the scale, solitude, and serenity of alpine ascent — a timeless moment of mountaineering grace framed in golden light.
