Zack Schnepf Backpacking

Gallery: NPN PhotographersPosted March 24, 20083,263 views11 comments

Here I am last fall, getting my butt kicked by Aasguard pass. If I look tired and exhausted, it's for a very good reason. Scott lanz and I hiked for nearly 12 hours to do the 5500 feet in elevation to reach the upper Enchantments in one day. Worth every agonizing second though

Not the best photo of me, but I love the view of Colchuck Lake and the surrounding mountains. Scott helped me out and clicked the shutter for me. Thanks again buddy, what a ride that trip was.

Zack, this came out great considering the contrast. I'd proudly display it if were you. Good job on the processing. You don't look tired at all. Did you use some type of "fatigue mask" photoshop tool?

Great to see you having so much fun Zack. That's what it's all about. Colchuck Lake looks a lot like Lake O'Hara which you should definitely visit if you are ever in this part of the world (Yoho National Park).

Hi Zack! Ive only been to the Enchantments once--i went from the lake on the other side and down Aasgaurd (the "aesthetic" way, according to Manning) what a great hike, hope to get back sometime. Nice shot.

Looks like some serious hiking going on here, Zack. It would also appear that you are enjoying the trip too.
