Hiking early has a few advantages. Coastal morning cloud often envelops lower elevations overnight, and then clears as the sun gains height and power. The light in these conditions can be quite delicate, and can lead to powerful images. This was taken at 7:50am.
I've printed a similar image from the Pacific Crest Trail last year at 24x36 inches, and it looks fantastic.
Nice shot! Worth waking up early for! ;)
