Another find

I have been having a field day going through all my old photos. I keep finding some good shots that I for some reason had overlooked initially like the one above.

This photo was taken from Maroon Lake looking to the north at Sievers Mountain. Maroon Lake is below the world renowned Maroon Bells, which I have photographed as well. Sievers Mountain is a peak at 12,700 feet that runs with a long ridgeline north east of the Maroon Bells. The peak itself is not visible in this photo, just some spires on it's southern slopes. It is not as photographed as the more dramatic and higher Maroon Bells, but these spires are very dramatic anyways

Been a While


I haven't blogged in a while, mostly because nothing of interest has been going on. I have not been going anywhere these last few weeks. So there have been no new photos in a while. The good thing is that I have been going through all my old photos and have found a couple keepers, ones that I feel are worth while.

The above image was taken last June in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was taken along Trial Ridge Road right after a thunderstorm had passed. If you don't know, Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous highway in North America, reaching an elevation of nearly 12,200 feet. I took this photo from the Rock Cut section on the highway looking to the west towards the Never Summer Mountains. This road in closed in the winter so I am unable to return to this spot until late May or early June, even then I will be busy working on my two books about the Eagles Nest Wilderness and Crested Butte, so I don't think I will be returning to this spot anytime soon.
