Fletcher Spires Version 2

The sun setting behind Fletcher Mountain's near 14,000' jagged ridge in the Tenmile Range south of Breckenridge, Colorado. I backpacked in and set up camp here at around 13,000'shortly before sunset. It was a beautifully calm evening as you can see by the stillness of the lake.

Tenmile Range Alpenglow

DeCaLiBron Sunset

Sunset on Mount Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln and Bross through a veil of wildfire smoke from the 13,865' summit of neighboring centennial 13er Mt. Buckskin. The original plan was to go up Mt. Democrat for sunset, but I was turned away upon reaching the trailhead by Park County Search and Rescue as they worked to retrieve the body of a man who had just died on Mount Cameron from a heart attack. I decided to go up centennial 13er Mt. Buckskin instead as I was already at the trailhead ready to go. These 14ers look better from afar anyway. The smoke was pretty nasty and I'm still not really thrilled to have breathed all of that in, I'm especially glad I took a little rest from hiking while our mountains were super smoky recently because that isn’t good to be breathing consistently.

Post Rain Wildflowers

After backpacking in several miles to photograph this spectacular wildflower meadow, it rained for a few hours. Convinced the rain would break at the last minute, I stood here getting soaked while finding a composition and protecting my camera. The rain gave way to this explosive sunset only for a few minutes.

Fall in the Ten Mile Range

Sunset on one of my long time favorite spots in the Ten Mile Range, Colorado. Fall has come early this year with most colors around the county peaking already, but my go to spot on this creek was a little behind the rest.

Queen's Crowns at an Unnamed Alpine Lake

This unnamed lake has been on my list for a while now. I first spotted it years ago from the summit of the mountain pictured and my eye has always been drawn to it on maps. Not exactly sure why it took me so long to get up there. Perhaps I was saving it for the right time. I made a backpacking trip out of it last week and was not disappointed. There is something special about unnamed areas...a different kind of seclusion. I’ve been drawn to similar places lately in an attempt to not only try something different, but in search of less human activity.
