I have this photo on summitpost and I guess they were mining for a good photo in the Handies Peak area:

Thanks for the link -- that's a gorgeous photo. What's the subject of the article your pic is featured in?

The June issue is about habitats that are nearing destruction. Near Handies Peak is cited as an area close to doom due to the 4wd traffic. I love those roads personally, so I guess I'm part of the problem.
