On this day, a year ago, I drove from East Glacier Park Village to St Mary in Montana on one of the most tortuous roads. It was 6 AM and still pitch dark when we left our hotel. Driving distance was only 30 miles, but it wasn’t until almost 7 AM that we reached a hill near St Mary. The town was invisible, shrouded by clouds, but the sunrise was stunningly colorful.

These are the reasons to wake up prior to dawn and capture those incredible blues, purple and orange hues… Great shots.

It was indeed worth it, Randall. That sunrise was one of the best ever, for me anyway.
