An incredible display of color over what remains of the Boston Mining Camp. Southern Tenmile Range near Breckenridge, Colorado. Mayflower Gulch.
The day's last light blanketing the west side of the Tenmile Range, from Peak 10 on the viewers right all the way down to Peak 1. Taken from the 13,852' summit of Crystal Peak. July 2020.
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.
Sunset from a 13,000' summit in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness of the Sawatch Range, Colorado.
The last light on the Southern Tenmile Range near Breckenridge, Colorado. This photo was taken from the summit of Crystal Peak A (13,852') facing southeast towards Pacific Peak (13,950') and the ever beautiful Mohawk Lakes drainage. In the center of the frame sits Quandary Peak (14,265')
Sunset in the Mosquito Range after a long day of summiting several centennial 13ers.
The Ruby Range taken from Scarp Ridge at sunset on my 31st birthday, July 2020.
Aspen grove after a rain storm in Snowmass, Colorado. One of the most beautiful and vast groves I've ever hiked through.
Spectacular wildflowers under a rainbow. Taken on a backpacking trip into the Gore Range.
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.
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.
Woolly Mule's Ears carpet a meadow overlooking the iconic Marcellina Mountain in Crested Butte, Colorado. This sunset took place on July 14, 2019, my 30th birthday. Great gift from Mother Nature if you ask me.
