I first travelled in the Pasayten as an impressionable 19-year old backpacker on the PCT
in August of 1973. I recall my thought then, that although I had already spent five weeks
alone in the wild areas of the Cascades farther south, I was about to enter
true wilderness - silent, vast, and mysterious. Over the years I have visited many
of the Pasayten's most remote areas; yet to this day I regard the Pasayten
with that same feeling. I could not have imagined that I would be photographing it someday
during winter from the air, and so I consider myself most fortunate
to be able to share these images now with you.
