High triplets plus moon at sunrise: The almost full moon is ready to vanish behind the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range, part of the Southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado, illuminated by the glow from the rising sun. In the foreground is Humboldt Peak (14,070 ft high) and behind Humboldt, somewhat hidden in the Clouds, are the legendary "Crestones", Crestone Needle (14,203 ft) and Crestone Peak (14,266 ft), two of the most difficult and dangerous mountains to climb in the USA!
