The high peaks of the Rocky Mountains covered with snow
February 2, 2009 - The high peaks of the Rocky Mountains covered with snow. The Rocky Mountains are a range that runs from Western Canada into the American West. In this image, you can see the portion of it that is in (clockwise from the top left) Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. There are also pockets of snow in Nevada, and among the canyons of Arizona.
The Colorado River is fed by mountain snow in Colorado, shown in the center of the image. The river itself can be seen winding across the pink deserts of the southeast corner of Utah and into northern Arizona where it cut the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is visible in the northwest corner of Arizona, running approximately horizontally. The Painted Desert, pink and orange in color, is to its east, running southwards.
The large lake visible in Utah, which looks half green and half purple, is the Great Salt Lake. The distinctly different coloration between the northern and southern arms of it is the result of a rock-filled causeway built in 1953 to support a permanent railroad. The causeway has resulted in decreased circulation between the two arms and higher salinity on the northern side

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains in all their snow-covered glory. Taken on February 2,2009, this image showcases the high peaks of this iconic mountain range that stretches from Western Canada into the American West. From Idaho to Montana, Wyoming to Colorado and Utah, each state is represented in a stunning display of nature's grandeur. As you gaze at this photograph, your eyes are drawn to the winding path of the Colorado River cutting through pink deserts and canyons. It is a reminder of how these mountains provide life-giving water to sustain ecosystems downstream. The mighty river eventually carves its way through northern Arizona, creating one of Earth's most awe-inspiring wonders - the Grand Canyon. To the east lies an equally captivating sight - the Painted Desert with its vibrant hues of pink and orange stretching southwards. And just beyond it lies a half green and half purple expanse known as the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The stark contrast between its northern and southern arms is caused by a rock-filled causeway built decades ago. This remarkable print by Stocktrek Images encapsulates not only natural beauty but also highlights geographical features that have shaped landscapes for centuries. It serves as a testament to our planet's diverse wonders and invites us to appreciate their splendor with every glance.
