Maroon Bell Glow was captured at the break of dawn while backpacking on the Four Pass Loop, this image showcases the Maroon Bells bathed in the soft, orange light of sunrise with deep dark shadows emphasizing one of the Maroon Bells peaks. The vantage point atop Frigid Air Pass, at 12,405 feet, offers a breathtaking perspective of these iconic mountains near Aspen, Colorado.
Achieving this shot required more than just a morning hike—it meant camping overnight at that altitude alongside friends, embracing the risks and exhilaration that come with high-elevation adventure. The thin air and cold temperatures tested our resolve, but the resulting glow illuminating the rugged landscape made every challenge worthwhile.
