I was checking some dates in April on our wall calendar the other day when I realized that the scene depicted in the photograph looked very familiar.
Yes . . . it was Evolution Valley.
I hiked into Evolution Valley in 2004, having driven the hideous Kaiser Pass road and taken the Florence Lake shuttle. I camped just north of the valley and did a dayhike up to Evolution Lake the day of this photo.
As I entered the valley I remember thinking to myself: Whoa . . . almost too picturesque. But I took some shots anyway with my 4-megapixel Olympus C4000.
Not as hazy in my shot as in the calendar.
