Colorado
I know I’ve selected an entire state, but after living here for 15 years, I simply fell in love with so many places in my adopted home.
Rocky Mountain National Park was the first area of Colorado that I spent a lot of time in. I’d get up early to photograph the sunrise then take an early morning hike, beating the crowds of tourists. I visited in the cold of winter and the height of summer. I love this park and always will.
But then I traveled to Aspen and Breckenridge and fell in love with those old mining towns — now turned ski towns — and the mountains that surround them. I hiked to Maroon Lake at the base of the famous Maroon Bells peaks a couple of times and snowshoed and hiked in the mountains around Breckenridge.
Then onto Ouray, Telluride and Lake City with Ouray being a place that I hold near and dear to my heart. The San Juan mountain range became one of my favorites and I photographed at sun up and sun down. American Basin, Mount Sneffels and the Dallas Divide became places I dreamed of.
aMt. Sneffels under an autumn snow and above a foggy valley, near Ouray. Gorgeous!
Crested Butte joined the list as a favorite for summer and fall. The aspen leaves here in autumn are stunning, especially the drive over Kebler Pass.
Snowboarding in Steamboat Springs and Copper Mountains, hiking up Mt Elbert and Mt Massive, rock climbing in Eldorado Canyon and driving over the Dallas Divide — all experiences of Colorado that have left a mark on my heart .
It’s truly one of the most beautiful states in the USA.
