SUNRISE OVER MT SOPRIS
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SUNRISE OVER MT SOPRIS
Fall in Colorado is a truly magical experience, revealing some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country. Standing in the early morning, witnessing the beautiful view of snow-capped peaks, golden aspens, and the invigorating mountain air - it's a perfect way to rejuvenate your spirit and connect with the beauty of nature.
Driving the backroads can sometimes be the best way to find great landscapes to photograph. A leisurely drive on this dirt road takes you past magnificent ranches and horse farms, with stunning views of Mt. Sopris in the distance. During the fall color season, this area bursts with vibrant hues, featuring golden aspens and the brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds of the abundant underbrush that blankets the mountainside.
