Mount Sopris was one of the most impressive sights I have seen in Colorado and that’s saying something when you consider how many impressive mountains are there in the state. We were staying at Snowmass so the drive was pretty long to get to this location by sunrise. The view from the parking lot was pretty stunning especially after the recent rains which had left some decent sized puddles. During the early morning time we had perfectly still water and great reflections.

Another shot of Mt Sopris from our last trip to Colorado. I was a little disappointed while driving up to the mountain as it looked like most of the fall colors were gone by the time we decided to visit. But as we hiked to this view point we noticed that the shrubs around the area more than made up for the absence of fall colors.
At 12,966 ft Mt Sopris is an imposing sight, especially when from this viewpoint which is from the top of a nearby hill. I had the early morning light from my right to aid my composition and the warm light also helped with colors considerably. I enjoyed the mountains of Colorado so much and I cannot wait to be back here again.
