In this photograph Chimney Rock, Courthouse Mountain, and other peaks of Colorado's Cimarron Range glow in the light of an autumn sunset. The Cimarron Range is a group of peaks in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. From afar they appear to be contiguous with the much larger and higher Sneffels Range. The Cimarrons have a north-south orientation while the Sneffels Range has a mostly east-west orientation, making the two mountain ranges quite different when it comes to photography. The Cimarrons reach a maximum elevation of 12,152 feet at the top of Courthouse Mountain.
