I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Humphrey's Basin TR Dedicated to the Memory of "Quentinc"
Wow those are nice. They are all nice, but, like several who have posted above, I find the "Eagle has Landed" particularly striking. It is seriously dramatic and the 3D aspect is amazing.
My very favorite photo of my dad's (he did his own B and W developing and printing), one of Mt Banner over Thousand Is Lake with thin clouds that seem to radiate from summit, had a similar 3D aspect but was a somewhat tranquil scene in contrast to the dynamic one in the Eagle Has Landed.

I hate to echo everyone else and not say anything fresh, but all those photos are fantastic. What a special place.

Thanks for sharing Mav - a fitting tribute Quentinc.
As others have already said, this is some great work, from one of my favorite places on earth. Makes me want to be there in September.

Amazing pics Mav! I have seen some beautiful mornings up in HB but none quite like yours. So pleased to see you back on here!
Better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it!
