A photo story

Mount Elbert, Colorado

A view from high on Mount Elbert, the highest point in Colorado, in October 2023, looking out over a sea of clouds. It was a cold early morning, around 24, under a broken sky, with a little moisture in the air and a light breeze.

Elbert is the high point of the Rockies in the lower 48, a long ridge walk above treeline. I took this from up on the mountain, with the valleys filled in with cloud.
