The collegiate peaks in Colorado

Left to Right: Lost Mountain, Mount Shavano, Jones Peak, Mount White, Mount Princeton, and Mount Columbia.

It is cold and there are cacti everywhere and I just want one good rock.

I hate that about photographing mountains. I'm at around 10.3k' elevation, the second mountains from the left and right are 14.2k'. In person they still tower over me with a sense of gravitas that photos never capture.

Yeah I just did the math and these mountains are 1/6th the area of my whole country so the picture doesn't quite do them justice.
