Alpine Lake
Summer 2025

Alpine Lake in the Sawtooth Mountains

Introduction

As good as the Tetons... almost....

I hiked up to Alpine Lake in the Sawtooths with a couple of friends this summer. We didn't really know what to expect since it was our first time up here, but between the leftover snow on the peaks, the still water, and the way the light shifted across the lake, there was already plenty to work with.

The setting makes it easy

Alpine lakes make photography simple. The snow, the reflections, and the backdrop were already there; I just had to point the camera. The shots turned out clean, and it felt good not to overthink it.
