Moonrise over Owl Creek Pass

This picture was taken from a campsite at Ridgway State Park in southwest Colorado during a road/hiking/camping trip through central and southern Colorado at the end of September/beginning of October 2020. At sunset, a near full moon rose above Owl Creek Pass, a northern extension of the San Juan Mountains. 

 

Not visible in this, just below the pass, is Mattie's Meadow, where a famous scene from the 1969 movie "True Grit" was filmed. We explored the beautiful autumn scenery and the meadow en-route to the pass the next morning.
