Alpenglow Rising captures the ethereal beauty of a golden sunrise at Colorado’s most iconic peaks — the Maroon Bells. As the first light of day brushes the snow-dusted ridges, the surrounding aspen forests and alpine slopes begin to glow in radiant hues of orange, pink, and amber. Below, Maroon Lake becomes a perfect mirror, holding the reflection of these towering 14ers in complete stillness.
Shot just as the sun kissed the mountains, this image is a celebration of quiet mornings, alpine light, and the fleeting perfection of high-altitude reflections. Located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness near Aspen, this location is one of the most photographed in North America — yet moments like these feel entirely personal.
This fine art print is ideal for collectors who love serene landscapes, mountain photography, or the changing light of dawn. Available in multiple finishes and sizes, Alpenglow Rising brings a piece of Colorado’s wild and sacred spaces into your home or office.
