I spend a fair amount of time driving in search of vistas. A recent trip took me on a new route along the Concrete Sauk Valley Road.

The Sauk River drains a large area north west of Glacier Peak, in the North Cascades. These images are just above the confluence of the Sauk and Skagit Rivers.

The week had been rainy and gray, but there was one short window of light and somehow I managed to arrive in time for the sunset light show.

The wide open spaces on the gravel bars are calling me to come back!
