I went for a bit of a hike this morning before it got too hot. Thought this would be a good Play Raw candidate.

Very nice picture!
Worked a bit on the sky, the warmth of sunbeam and the coolness of the shades.

I chose not to overwork this image. I applied a picture style based on Provia fuji film that I use a lot. I then used a tone equalizer approach to recover some more shadow and highlight detail. Finally an AgX adjustment to set the white and black points using the auto tune levels picker. I wanted to keep the shadows dark and blue. But. a warmer rendition would also be a good approach.

Started off by using DT to create 2 images (one brightened and the other darkened to use for the sky). I then creatively blended in the GIMP and applied, selectively, a few G’MIC presets. and voila.

Another crop and maybe a bit overcooked, but I like this edit:
