Fence along field and snow-capped San Juan Mountains, Ridgway, Colorado, USA
The San Juan Mountains are a high and rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining has ended in the region. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover a large portion of the San Juan Mountains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Ridgway, Colorado, USA. The image captures a picturesque scene of a fence running alongside a vast field, with the majestic snow-capped San Juan Mountains serving as an awe-inspiring backdrop. The San Juan Mountains, known for their ruggedness and elevation in the Rocky Mountains range, stretch across southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. This region holds great historical significance due to its rich mineral deposits that played a vital role in early Colorado's gold and silver mining industry. Today, remnants of this once-thriving industry can be found in old mining camps turned major towns like Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Although large-scale mining activities have ceased in this area over time, its natural splendor remains untouched. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests now blanket much of these mountains' expanse, preserving their pristine landscapes for generations to come. Danita Delimont's expertly captured photograph encapsulates the essence of this remarkable region – from the tranquil fields enclosed by rustic fences to the towering peaks adorned with glistening snowcaps. It serves as a testament to nature's grandeur and reminds us of the enduring allure found within these magnificent mountainscapes.
