Colorado

Colorado is a land of unparalleled beauty. In the western part of the state, there is a remarkable desert landscape filled with immense canyons, fascinating rock formations, and ancient ruins. In the east, there is an endless expanse of rolling plains interspersed with buttes, mesas, and colorful badlands. Rising between these two disparate landscapes are the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado has 58 peaks rising over 14,000 feet above sea level. Flowing down from these peaks are innumerable rivers, streams, and waterfalls that feed pristine alpine lakes.

Photographer Grant Collier has spent twenty years photographing this landscape through all of the changing seasons. He has captured images at sunrise and sunset, when warm light kisses the tops of mountain peaks and the clouds come alive with color. He has stayed up deep into the night to photograph the landscape beneath stars, planets, meteors, and comets. He also has flown high above the land to capture the scenery from a captivating new perspective. The portrait he has produced of Colorado will make you long to lace up your hiking boots and explore the state yourself.
