Mount Sneffels is the highest summit of the Sneffels Range in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The prominent 14,158-foot fourteener sports a coat of the first snow of the season giving the mountain a sharp appearance in the early morning light.
This shot is on County Rd 5 south of Ridgway, CO. The night before the temperature had dropped to 22 deg and a light dusting of frost and snow covered the trees. Fall colors had started to change. Aspens were turning gold and the Scrub Oak was velvet reds and oranges.
The peaks of the mountains had received a good amount of powder snow because of the low temperatures. Winds whipped up the powder into plumes of snow blowing hundreds of feet into the air above the peaks.
