Baker Mountain, Bowen Mountain – Kawuneeche Valley & Never Summer Range

Images of Baker Mountain, Bowen Mountain in Kawuneeche Valley with the Never Summer Range – Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado. These images were captured on a mid summer morning in the Kawuneeche Valley at Rocky Mountain National Park. This scenic location is a small pond on the West Side of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our hope this day was to capture a beautiful sunrise over Bowen and Baker Mountain. This year saw late snows resulting in an abundance snow melt into the summer filling seasonal ponds and streams. As the dawn light began to illuminate the Continental Divide, you can see the clouds reflecting the beautiful magenta, orange and pink light. Soon after dawn, the mountain peaks were painted in the dappled morning light. These photos of Bowen and Baker Mountain in the Never Summer Range were taken on July 14, 2019 between 5:42am and 6:40am.
