Mount Sneffels (14,153 ft; 4,314 m) sits like a glowing ember atop the northwest spur of the San Juan Mountains as evening lights up the clouds and late-season Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) glow in the gathering dusk, near Ridgway, Colorado.
2020-09-06, Day 2
The waters of Dinwoody Creek hasten for lower ground as the cool blue of evening begins to creep into the sky that fills the cirque below Gannett Peak, Fitzpatrick Wilderness, Wind River Range, Wyoming.
At this point in the evening, my hiking parter was far ahead of me, largely because I dawdled amongst the stones and water with my camera, looking for compositions and appreciating the light. At length, I glanced up and saw him on a rise some distance away, beckoning that I should come and see what lay upslope. I thought briefly of the fact that we had a little under three miles between where we stood and our camp, and that neither one of us had thought to bring a headlamp as we raced out of camp toward timberline. However, these thoughts were brief because it was fairly clear that the only thing that really mattered was to osmotically absorb as much of this wondrous place as possible. With the pack back in camp and no weight to shoulder, I felt light and infected with mountain air and water. Giddiness prevailed, and I jogged up the trail to see what was exciting my friend's sensibilities.
Technical notes: Hand-held due to weight-avoidance behavior while backpacking (i.e., no tripod).
A blast from the past ends this short series from the top of the high point of Grasslands. It was 23 years ago but I remember this evening well: picking my way along deer trails to the summit, watching the light change as the sun slowly sank, then hiking back in the dark. That gnarly, twisted rabbitbrush in the foreground is still there; I noticed it a few weeks ago.
I am grateful to have found this place when it was a little wilder and less visited.
Tech details: Camera - Nikon F100. Lens - manual focus 24mm f/2.8, with polarizing filter. Film: Fujichrome Velvia (ISO 50). Tripod. Cable release. Exposure unrecorded (it would be f/22 or f/16 at the appropriate shutter speed, with some bracketing, because film had minimal latitude for error). Scanned with a Minolta D'Image desktop scanner. It had excellent dynamic range but within a year or two of the purchase began to produce long, scratch-like red, green, or blue lines through shadow areas. Minolta had no answers for this and I upgraded to a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 that I'm still using 15 years later.
