Walking to Indian Peaks

Today we head over to the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.  When we arrive to the area my wife and I were really disappointed to find that the last 2.5 miles of the road was still closed.  We decided to make the hike anyways.  This opened some pretty unique shots that I wouldn’t have been able to get during the open season as IPWA is one of the busiest hiking areas in the state.  I had a couple great windows through the trees to stand in the middle of the road and grab some shots of the mountains in the background.  These peaks climb into the sky showing their rocky cliff sides that make for gorgeous photos.  The top of the peaks are part of the great Continental Divide with Rocky Mountain National Park just on the other side.  I hope to one summer take the trail from this side of the divide to the other side in this area.  That would be a great challenge but provide for some amazing views.

  3. Fantastic sky, great lead in and some mountains I’d love to climb. Great image. I’m off to the Swiss Alps in a month – I’m SO looking forward to it.
