Photography Mt. Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake. Catch the right light for a trophy shot. But first, spend the day hiking around Artist Point.

Photography Tips

Set up your shot to catch a nice reflection. There are platforms with ideal locations for photographers. Watch out for weeds floating in the lake. Evening photos work well. Hang out, because the light changes quickly and you can catch a glimpse of alpenglow that lasts for a short while.
