It's the Echo Lake / Monmouth Creek Trail. The falls are part of the Monmouth Falls complex.

You are exactly the person you described. What makes you special to know where this place is, to where someone else can't enjoy it like you did? So freaking pretentious dude. Also, this place isn't as remote as you think it is and someone on this thread will name the location/coordinates.

Pretty sure this is off the Echo Lake Trail.

This is incredible. Seriously one of the best compositions and framings I've ever seen on this sub.

I like the photo but the horizon being slanted is super distracting.

Looks like a scene out of a Western!

Great shot! When were you there? I just spent Monday-Wednesday in Canyonlands photographing!

Long story short dude it's not a bad thing to blend or create a composite. Just own it. That's the issue we have on this thread.

But you couldn't have gotten this in the same shot as Hood. I have spent many, many nights at Trillium (I lived in PDX for a decade) and there's just no way. And as someone else pointed out, the Milky Way doesn't even orient in the direction in your photo. It had to be blended.

Still in denial, OP is.

Dude really? How is this not composite? So you got the stars, reflection, and Hood in one exposure?

Oh my bad. I was asking if this is in the Brooks and if so, what peak?

Wow! Brooks Range? Where?

Amazing shot, sans chem, eh I mean, contrails.

Is the sky and moon here replaced or is this all the same photo/event? Either way, incredible.
