Mountain sunrise scene of Mount Sneffels in Colorado with bright yellow autumn aspens in the foreground and warm morning light on rugged peaks under a calm sky.

Golden aspens, a quiet dawn, and Mount Sneffels catching fire with first light. Fall in the San Juans always feels like nature showing off without saying a word.

On the summit of Mount Sneffels with my brother spinning a full 360 across the San Juans and the Colorado Plateau. Thin air cold wind and nothing but sky stone and peace. Pure happiness. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #MountainViews #GetOutside

The final stretch to the top of Mount Sneffels was nothing but scree and slipping steps. Then sunrise hit the ridge and the whole basin came alive with color. All the pain turned into awe. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

The Milky Way as seen from the 14,150 ft. summit of Mt. Sneffels in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The clouds are illuminated by the lights of Telluride, and the horizon glow is from Durango.
