Nokhu Crags is a multi-fingered peak at the north end of the Never Summer mountain range in north central Colorado, just northwest of Rocky Mountain National Park. The summit of the peak lies at an elevation of 12,485 feet. This photograph was made from near the shoulder of the highway near Cameron Pass. In the foreground is the Colorado State Forest, with its popular winter recreation area of open alpine meadows and spruce-fir forests. I made three exposures of this scene, but this is my favorite because the clouds parted for a minute to brighten the snow and throw tall tree shadows.
This photograph was made in 1977 on 4x5 inch black and white sheet film.
Photo location: Cameron Pass, State Route 14, Larimer County, Colorado
