"This is a spectacular place to be at sunrise."


Not in the winter. Sun is so far south that Longs blocks virtually all of the sunrise. Just the tip top of Taylor Peak gets a sunrise.

Re: Sunrise

Nonetheless ... your winter picture is very nice, as well.

Peace, Jim

Re: Sunrise

Hi Jim, glad t see you're still around. Yesterday I spent 3 hours on the summit of Hallett, from 3:00 to 6:00! The sunset was amazing, and to my surprise, the moon showed up at 5:15! The weather was perfect as well. I got some good photos of the sunset, as well as Longs Peak under a stary sky, draped in moon light. I'll post a few in the next week.
