Really beginning to enjoy my M on the trail with the 11-22 and CPL. A few shots from a recent hike in Rocky Mountain National Park to Andrews Tarn and Andrews Glacier at 11,400 feet to complete my ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - might as well get the ice water at the source. I really appreciate the size and weight of the M on hikes like this - 4 miles one way with 2200 feet of elevation gain. I'll settle for the M with the 11-22 and 55-200 over the 6D with 17-40 and 70-200+1.4x any day for this type of hike.
I've included 11mm and 22mm photos in most cases. DxO OP9 with NR, vignetting, and lens softness turned on.
The Loch - about halfway there. Andrews Glacier is visible on a ridge near the center of the photo.

At treeline - pretty much a rock scramble ahead up and over the ridge. The tarn and glacier are above the ridge and not visible.

Half way up - the tarn and glacier are still above the ridge and can't be seen.

The tarn and glacier. You can spot a person descending the glacier about mid way down towards the left.

The view back down. The Loch is visible just left of center in these photos
