Sunset Over The Rocky Mountains In Gunnison County, Colorado
(Photos - June 2, 2007)
June 2, 2007 - I had little to do this
evening and so I traveled over to the Gunnison County side of Cottonwood Pass
to check out the sunset. I was definitely not disappointed! Right at Cottonwood Pass
as I sat in my car, the sky gave off some bright yellow rays during the pre-sunset stage.
I wanted a better view of the sunset and mountains and so I drove
approximately one mile on Gunnison County Road 109 west of the pass. As the sun began to set, I included the sky above with clouds in the adjacent photo.
The sun setting. Being at 12,000 feet in altitude, it is usually fairly easy to have a great vista of the sun setting to the west.
I'm not particularly convinced my camera it well, but this was the most beautiful part of the sunset in my opinion. Lots of color!
I included this last shot of one final burst of color over the Rocky Mountains.
