Elaho Adventure.

 "It felt great to get out of my comfort zone and really explore deep into a remote location."Elaho valley limited edition fine art mountain landscape photographyThe Elaho River Valley is a 70 km river that begins in the Coast Mountains northwest above Whistler and Pemberton, British Columbia, and feeds to the Squamish River. For this adventure, I took an overnight backpacking trip into the deep remote areas of the Elaho Valley. I logged over 40 km on logging roads with the final stretch including steep inclines rocky terrain, and deep cross ditches.

The combination of bright greens of the flora, the deep blue of the inky lakes, and the snowy ice-capped mountains wrapping everything together. The vibrancy of the different colors creates a natural pop in the landscape.
