Early on in the day while approaching the alpine terrain above Retallack Lodge I noticed this ridge line.  Immediately I had high hopes for a silhouetted sunset photo later on in the day.  So after spending the day riding and snapping photos we came back to it just as the sun went below the horizon.  Kevin guinea pigged the ridge line for me working his way down it's steep slope helping to create this image.
