Sunset Photos of Longs Peak & Glacier Gorge During Weather Inversion

Here you will find Sunset Photos of Longs Peak & Glacier Gorge During a Weather Inversion in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado. These photographs were taken from the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. A rare early evening weather effect created the dramatic valley fog and clouds below Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. This evening we were treated to an amazingly colorful pink, orange and yellow sunset. As the sun set in the west, the light revealed strikingly colorful clouds behind Longs Peak and Glacier Gorge. We were in the Park to capture the Fall Color and were treated to this colorful sunset scene. These photos of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park were taken on October 1, 2019 between 5:55pm and 7:07pm.
