Rocky Mountain High, Colorado

On a recent journey through the American West, Colorado stood out as a major highlight. For six days, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” played on a loop in my mind — a fitting title for this piece. This image was captured from the train as it passed through Tabernash, nestled between Granby and Fraser. In the distance, the snow-capped summits of Bills and Byers Peaks rise to nearly 13,000 feet, anchoring the landscape. In the foreground, the Fraser River winds gently through a vibrant thicket of willow shrubs, adding movement, color and warmth to the early spring stillness.  

For more information about this region – known as the Byers Peak Wilderness Area, please have a look at this page from the US Forest Service:  https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/arp/recreation/byers-peak-wilderness
