Moody day in San Juan Mountains. Weather is coming!
Wetterhorn Peak is in the foreground and Mount Sneffels in background. As was seen from the Uncompahgre Peak.
View from the trail to Uncompahgre Peak.
Mount Sneffels is 14,158ft high, one of the class 3 14ers in Colorado. I have yet to get to the summit of this one. Perhaps next year.
The first photo was taken this October at sunrise. Second photo was taken almost exactly the same day last year at sunset time. Very different.
Taken from Handies Peak, yet another Colorado 14er, which I climbed twice now and might do it again next time in the San Juan Mountains.
Progression of colors during sunset at 14000+ high elevation. The first view was about 25 minutes before the second and 35 before the third. Sun went behind the mountains a few minutes later.
We are looking at the Mount Sneffels, which is something like 18 miles away, while standing on the Handies Peak. Both are Colorado 14ers. Based on the angle in the third view, looks like I started my descent after taking the first two. It got pitch dark pretty soon after that.
