I’m a professional photographer. These are a few of my favorite National Park Pictures
Alec Sills-TrauschI never thought I’d end up as a photographer. Honestly, I had never picked up more than a point-a-shoot before age 25. Now, six years later, I’m somehow keeping this entire operation afloat and loving every second – especially shooting National Park pictures.
The ability to have my “job” lead me into the outdoors, where I’m moving, soaking in beautiful views, and boosting my mental health (the forest is magical, ya’ll), is something I can’t take for granted. Below, I’m excited to share some of my favorite photos from our National Parks.
If you’re inclined, you can follow me on social. Or check out my website to purchase prints.
Kings Canyon National Park
Shot from my favorite place, Rae Lakes.
Glacier National Park
Views on the Grinnell Glacier hike.
North Cascades National Park
Photo taken from Sahale Glacier Camp.
Banff National Park
It’s one of my favorite shots of all time. The views in Larch Valley are “I can’t believe this, please pinch me.”
Lake Clark National Park
Going bear-watching in Lake Clark was a bucket list moment.
Mt. Rainier National Park
The flowers and views from the Skyline Loop Trail in Rainier.
Olympic National Park
Views don’t get much better than when you’re atop Hurricane Ridge!
Banff National Park
Nothing short of miraculous from up at Sentinel Pass in Banff.
Glacier National Park
The crown jewel of the continent!
Mt. Rainier National Park
Surreal views of the volcano just outside of Seattle! These National Park pictures will give you all the inspiration to hit the trails!
Channel Islands National Park
One of the least visited National Parks, we camped here and had it all to ourselves!
Redwoods National Park
Getting the chance to explore the Redwoods was absolutely memorable!
North Cascades National Park
Fall colors in the North Cascades offer ridiculous views that will make your jaw drop!

Flightseeing around Denali National Park was the single best trip of my entire life.
Yosemite National Park
This shot from Taft Point was one of the best sunsets I’ve ever witnessed.
Grand Teton National Park
Delta Lake at sunrise offers the best views in the park. The National Park pictures here are surreal.
Death Valley National Park
Out on the dunes in Death Valley. This is just a short walk from the road, but it looks like another planet.
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite Falls in the spring is nothing short of magical. It’s one of the best Yosemite Valley hikes.
Glacier National Park
Kenai Fjords National Park
Massive glaciers. Wildlife. Stunning views. Kenai Fjords exceeded all expectations! I loved what I created with these National Park pictures.
Sequoia National Park
The Congress Trail, including the General Sherman Tree, offers amazing views while visiting Sequoia National Park.

Great times in a very underrated national park. While not the most striking National Park pictures, they’re still so nice!
