The image features an elevated perspective looking across snow-capped mountains. The horizon is blurry as it merges with the sky, which has a pale hue. Delicate lines are used to depict the sky above the mountains. The brushstrokes are soft and minimalistic, defining the snow and rocks. The color palette is subtle with greys, whites, light blues, and hints of brown. The image includes light sketches indicating Mount Baker in the upper section.
