Driving through the mountains after a spring snow storm I was captivated by this fleeting vista. The afternoon sun was illuminating the lower portions of Grays and Torreys while their summits remained obscured by the remaining storm clouds. Luckily I had my camera along and was able to capture the scene before it faded away. At 14,270’ and 14,267’ Grays and Torreys are the two highest peaks along the Continental Divide and some of the more popular and accessible 14er’s in Colorado given their proximity to I-70 and Denver.
