Very interesting colors/textures (not to mention an impressive scene)

Thanks!

Hard to argue with your logic, yet there it is...

Kauai is amazing

Thanks!

Agreed. The whole Island is amazing, but if you do nothing else, at least visit Waimea (bonus for going slightly further and seeing the Kalalau overlook, as well)

A scene I've seen before, but captured very well by you, is always welcome!

I find myself wondering how early you had to get there, and fondly remembering the days when Utah's national parks weren't so crowded...

edit: I'm looking forward to you posting Iceland photos, too!

Instead of trying to capture the whole grand view, this is "just" one of the major side canyons.

Yes, it is on the trail from Gold Creek Gulch, above Ohio City. Lots of good hikes available up there, but this is my favorite hike after first arriving, having come up from sea level.

Made you look

Used to be a candidate for a lonely tree photo, set apart on a small peninsula on the high side of the lake. We guessed what happened from the top of the tree in the lake quite a ways away (the tree's fate later confirmed by Forest Service Ranger we met up there).

If you'd like some more redditors to see this beautiful photo, you can also post it to the sibling subreddit, r/Beachporn

Beautiful, dreamy

You should see the raw

Flying along it was surreal - the motion helped communicate the scale of the place

At the highest point, over 3000 ft

This makes me sad. It's probably some plastic trash that has washed up.

3000+ ft, >1000m (I'm glad you noticed it)

I bet you're entirely correct! I've seen a little of the top through the clouds, and didn't see any safety signs of any sort

Not that far from "civilization", yet very isolated

It's certainly memorable!

It reminds me of the lush cliffs on Kauai, they both get a whole lot of rain

Quite amazing, and makes me wonder about Kilauea doing same😱
