Sunrise Over a Foggy Valley

I was visiting my family in the Seattle area. One day we got up early and went to a spot with great views of mountains and a valley. The only issue was that we were in the valley and had to hike 2 miles up the mountain in order to get to the overlook.

The Rattlesnake Edge Trail is a trail cut into the side of a steep mountain lying in its angle of repose. The elevation gain over the 2 miles is 1160 feet. I’m not ashamed to say that it was a tough climb for me, but I made it. We got there about 10 minutes before sunrise.
