When we were hiking into Rocky Mountain, I noticed a beautiful river as we made our way up the hill. I didn’t think anything of it until we were headed back down from the hike. The beautiful alpenglow was starting to permeate its way through the trees and illuminated the forest in wonderful cotton candy skies. We rushed back to the river we had crossed only hours before to capture the colorful sky against the translucent flow of the river. The two combined to make another serene Colorado sunset.
