Shot looking down the Black Canyon in Gunnison, Colorado. I love the mixture of the green tint in the water, the grey of the rocks, and the sunlight hitting the rock wall. Black Canyon is one of the most jaw dropping places in Colorado. #Adventure
Maroon Bells - Absolute Beauty...!!! A stunning view of the most gorgeous Maroon Lake. Situated at 14,163 ft above sea-level, the Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about a third of a mile. #Parks #River #maroon_bells_aspen #colorado #protecttheselands #water #beauty #landscape #nature
