Assiniboine is Bae. Absolutely love this place. I've now been twice, and capture the milkyway here as well and it's still a place I'd love to return to. Next time I want to go during the winter though!
Glad you had a wonderful experience shooting the milkyway too. It can sometimes be a real taxing experience - but just like you I find more often than not its the most magical time to be awake. To think you may be the ONlY person on Earth currently looking up at any one place in the night sky. Its a magical feeling.
Isn't it amazing! I would also like to return in the winter someday :). It was also so wild no one else was awake, missing one of nature's most beautiful shows.
