Colorado.

Even in July, winter hasn't completely loosened its grip on Colorado's high country. At elevations along the Continental Divide, deep snow can linger well into summer, filling alpine gullies and blanketing the ridgelines with remnants of the previous season.

This photograph captures the contrast between the exposed summer landscape and the substantial snowpack still clinging to the higher elevations. A reminder of just how long winter can last in the Colorado mountains.
