The view of Snowmass Canyon is dominated by the flat-topped Mount Daly of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. This 13,300 foot peak is the most prominent peak seen from Snowmass Village, and serves as a reminder of how close the small resort town is to one of the last truly wild places of Colorado.

The view from the top of Burnt Mountain. Accessed via a short hike from the Elk Camp chair at Snowmass Mountain, Burnt Mountain provides access to steep, wide open glades and beautiful views, while still staying inside the controlled terrain of the resort.

A large pool along the pothole trail of Canyonlands National Park's Needles District. Desert life thrives in unlikely places. Many creatures rely on these pools to drink from, and others live out their entire lives in the days or weeks after a storm. Tadpole and fairy shrimp lay eggs that can withstand drought conditions in a process called cryptobiosis, withstanding a loss of up to 92% of liquids. When rain falls again, the eggs 'rehydrate' and hatch to live out their lives in the newly formed pool.

Chesler Park of Canyonlands National Park, Needles District. This area is rich with history from early native people to cowboys and outlaws, and still hosts visitors of many backgrounds, now as part of the National Park Service.

Four restored buildings of the Ashcroft Townsite near Aspen, CO. Ashcroft was settled in 1880 after prospectors found nearby silver deposits and once held over 2000 residents.
