Sunrise Photo of Longs Peak & Glacier Gorge Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado
Here you will find sunrise photos of Longs Peak & Glacier Gorge in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado. These photographs were taken from an area along the Dream Lake Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park. An October snowstorm over Rocky Mountain National Park leaves a dusting of snow on the mountain peaks. This morning we were treated to an amazingly colorful pink, orange and yellow sunrise. As the sun rose in the east, the light revealed strikingly colorful clouds above Longs Peak and Glacier Gorge. This scene was too stunning to pass up. We literally stopped right in our tracks on the trail to Dream Lake to capture the scene. These photos of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park were taken on October 22, 2018 between 7:05am and 7:28am.
