The rugged and harsh San Juan Wilderness lays under a shimmering coat of snow high up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
The ridgeline in the immediate foreground is called the Roaring Gulch and along the horizon starting on the left is Gramps Peak (12,340 ft ) then Charleys Peak ( 11,677 ft) and on the right is Conejos Peak (13,173 ft).
On the other side of this ridge lies the Continental Divide and this entire image is all within the Rio Grande National Forest.
This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.

Ooo so fancy! Great cameras, there 1DX is really impressive as well.
that is an awesome shot and the scenery looks awesome, the dark cloud looks like a scene from a scifi movie. love it
Thanks Joe, yes I find the dark clouds very foreboding in this setting. Juxtaposes the white snow does it not?
