Correct. Right now the lake is frozen over. Here’s a picture of it now

Mt. Shuksan looking great. I've climbed that twice, up through from this view, Fisher Chimneys route.
Winnie's slide, hells highway! Woohoo

What non-US "Washington" could this possibly be? Did you really think it was the town of Washington in the UK?
Would you criticize a British person for saying "London" without clarifying if they mean the town of London, Texas?

Lol, I don't deny there are many places called Washington...
I'm asking if you really thought this was the island of Washington in the Philippines?

Awesome. I live in Vancouver but plan on heading down again next summer to hike it.
thoreau_away_acct t1_j7lupqq wrote
You can hike to Ann Lake which is beautiful and has a magnificent view of the lower Curtis glacier. But beyond that it starts to get more technical, and not just hiking.

For those wondering, this is Picture Lake with Mt Shuksan in the North Cascades National Park. I took a similar pic one sunrise 4 years ago. The North Cascades are beautiful, I highly recommend hiking there!

Do you really not understand that a large plurality of redditors are from the US, or are you just being a smartass?
Sedated_Cat OP t1_j7ma4qg wrote
Thank you for all the lovely comments.
This was taken during October 2022 at Picture Lake, Washington. The mist/fog you see is from a nearby forrest fire in British Columba. I slept overnight in my car to try to capture this photo during sunrise and it didn't disappoint. During the night you could see the sky glow red in the distance, heres a 30 second long exposure of how that looked.
Camera and settings:
Sony A7C
Sony 55mm f1.8
ISO 200, shutter 1/4000

Those are some very cooperative trees in the 30 second exposure! I’m lucky if I can get them to sit still enough for bracketed daytime shots.

Yes, when the largest portion of users is all from one country it makes to presume that a given location, without other context, is probably referring to a place generally familiar to those from that country.

I started off with an a6000 and its what I used until recently. The 50mm 1.8 is a brilliant lens with that camera.

Would you rope in or bring trad gear? Or more of a scramble?

Standard PNW glacier travel

Jeans, boots, and gaiters got it
thoreau_away_acct t1_j7of0ae wrote
For Fisher Chimneys? Glacier travel (rope, harness, extraction gear) and to that end, prep for a few rappels on the way down. But the route can be climbed in trail runners/boots. Not sure any gear needs to be placed. We certainly haven't when climbing.
dirice87 t1_j7ofoja wrote
Dope! Lighter is best, we did Olympic but hauled so much gear we never used. Would like to do a car to car.

Ia this real picture ??? Or a Ai generated one ?
thoreau_away_acct t1_j7okutm wrote
Fast on Shuksan you can. Sulphide Glacier is much more direct. But Fisher Chimneys is aesthetically amazing and offers a dabble of everything PNW. Old growth and a glacier valley, an alpine lake, route finding and scrambling, then short but really impressive glacier and snow travel, before the summit block.
Both times we have bivied at the base of the Upper Curtis glacier. But the second time, it was like 3pm and we got there and were planning to camp and do the alpine start thing. But asked ourselves if we'd be better served just going for it?
We made it back to our bivy spot right as it really got dark (one party member (3 of us) just really went slow on the glacier, they were pretty beat).
But it was the most amazing way to do it. Nothing like an incredible high camp with the summit in the bag. And I'd carried a few beers up too so that was nice too..
Slept great that night even as crazy jabroni parties came next to and over our bivy at various points. So glad we weren't in that shit show. Had the summit to ourselves like 1.5hr before sundown. Was great

I love these pictures. But keep in mind if you visit I was in the Cascades for 5 days and my mornings were met with lots of fog, no apparent sunrise, and clouds that cut off the top half of every mountain in the range. And that was everyday. I got one good clear afternoon my first day. Dreary haze the rest.
sodapuppy t1_j7pqpni wrote
Technically Picture Lake/Artist Point isn’t in the park, so you can bring your dogs! The boundary is in the picture, between the photographer and Shuksan (which IS in NCNP).
