A magical morning glow on the famed Maroon Bells, the most photographed peaks in North America.
Photographing the Bells in winter is not easy given the road to access the area is closed.
Instead of driving up to the lake in the summer and fall,
you must skin up the road on skis for seven miles to set up camp on the snow.
I then awoke at 5 a.m., put on on my ski boots - which were covered with ice -
and skis to make my way to the lake. Without skis you posthole in the deep snow.
Following sunrise I had to pack up the tent and gear and ski out the seven miles.
There was no one else around - a special experience given the popularity of the lake.
Compare this to the summer and fall when hundreds of photographers can simply drive in
and line up every single morning to take this famous image.
But if you want this image in unique conditions, you must ski in,
snow camp and brave the cold to photograph these iconic peaks in a frosty winter coat.
I'll take the solitude any day.
