It’s a rare and memorable experience to hike above treeline on a windless, blue-bird day and look down on a bank of clouds. But the show we had on Sunday was beyond compare. Soon after reaching Thunderstorm Junction, as we started to ascend Mount Adams on Lowe’s Path, the undercast transformed into ocean. Crashing waves heaved over Edmunds and Sphinx Cols, spilling into the Jefferson Ravine and the Great Gulf. I stared with stunned awe at the scene and then tried to capture it. These photos can’t begin to do justice to the moment.
