Morning Snow in Sangre de Cristo Mountains -- June 2019

Later this month, I am planning a hiking trip to southern Colorado, one of my favorite areas in the United States. On a road trip last year (which this picture is from), one of my friends referred to southern Colorado and eastern Utah as (paraphrasing) 'very interestingly arranged foliage and rocks'. This is particularly true of the Great Sand Dunes and surrounding mountains and valley floor. This picture was taken on a crisp, early summer (June 2019) morning in Great Sand Dunes National Park, looking towards the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Mountains. A dusting of snow had fallen the night before, making the early morning sun shining on this peak even more spectacular.
