The calm waters of Mill Lake reflect the soft hues of a tranquil evening in the Sawtooth Mountains. It's a quiet escape into nature's embrace, away from the hustle of everyday life.

Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho, 1979

Barn life in the Sawtooth Valley. I shot this project for Conrad Brothers Construction a couple years ago. It retains the rustic charm of a by-gone era yet affords its owners all of the conveniences of modern life. I bet no one really notices because they’re lookin the other way. . . . #barnlife #barn #barnphotography #stanley #sawtoothmountains #sawtooths #customhomes #landscapephotography #landscapes #mountains #mountainview #mountainviews #barndoors #modernbarn #instabarn #barnwood #reclaimed #reclaimedwood #barnbarn #fence #fencesofinstagram #barnsofinstagram #idahome #idaho #idahophotographer #idahogram #idahodaily #idahoexplored #idaholife (at Stanley, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmcJJurAxQI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j6pvbf21oz21

“You are all as much extraordinary phenomena of nature as say, trees, clouds, the shape of fire, the arrangement of stars, the formation of a galaxy. You are all just like that. There’s nothing wrong with you at all... except you have in you something that thinks there’s something wrong with you... but there’s nothing wrong with that either because that’s part of the flow.” - Alan Watts . Sometimes we all need a reminder ☝️Nothing like a massive alpine setting to remind us always and again how we’re all simultaneously tiny and impermanent and massively beautiful. . We’re still here Idaho, soaking up as much of your serenity and beauty as we can before we start the journey back to Denver for @outdoorretailer later this month and then to NorCal for @theoutbound Pursuit Series in Bear Valley. Anyone else going to either of these events? . #thevanproject #visitidaho #stanleyidaho #stanleylake #sawtoothmountains #sawtoothwilderness #wildernessnation #wilderness_culture #mountains🗻 #mountainviews #mountainrange #hikeidaho #idahodaily #idahophotographer (at Stanley, Idaho)

Couldn’t ask for a better hiking partner

We didn’t see a single track in this area, just an ocean of trees #sawtoothmountains #stanleyidaho #idaho #nature #naturephotography #hiking #hunting #elkhunting
