Kelso Ridge, Colorado.

Two hikers make their way along Kelso Ridge as the first light of sunrise begins to reach the surrounding peaks. Known for its exposed terrain and dramatic ridgeline, Kelso Ridge offers a demanding approach to Torreys Peak, with sections that require careful footing and a healthy respect for the mountain.

There's something compelling about seeing people move through such a vast alpine landscape, especially in the quiet hours before the mountains fully emerge in the morning light.
