Lots of great multi-day hikes along the Colorado trail, also the gore range, silverthorne area. Tons of huge waterfalls and wildlife. In the summer is obviously easier...

I used to live near Denver, and I'd take the fam up the and loved driving Trail Ridge Road. The highest paved highway in the US.
Not my pic below
I believe the highest paved highway in the US is Mount Evans.
^no its the jimi hendrix highway in the sky. It leads to the castle in the sky. lol
great photography...helps to have such a beautiful subject. Long's Peak is awesome! Born and raised in SoCo so I got all misty eyed lookin at your pictures.

It's no Colorado inside joke as far as I know, and I've lived here 32 years.
First, may I say, it's a very interesting photo. Well done.
Smog, seen from above, looks brown. Sunlight through smog (sunset and sunrise) looks orange and red. This doesn't look like smog.
I hypothesize that you are on Trail Ridge looking towards the Mummy Range with the Beaver Dams in that valley. Perhaps you took this picture in the morning with the sun reflecting against the bottom of the top cloud to color it very white and just getting bright enough to shine through the bottom of those retreating storm clouds off in the direction of Loveland (where I grew up and live now). Am I close?
Just a note: Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous hiway in the US. The Mount Evans Scenic Byway is the highest paved road in the US.
I remember the epic July 4th closure of Loveland Basin, and I was there too.
These pictures are from the very tail end of Sept or the first week of October this year. Trail Ridge is closed for the season, and we've had some snow; I'm planning on going to the park next week to see the beauty. I'll post pictures of those for you after my soiree.

I'll post some gnar mid-winter. Bear Lake has the sex of all parking lots come winter time. One of the best spots to go touring right from your car.

Boulder is shit! There is no skiing, snow, or climbing in Colorado. Nothing to see here...
Stay away, stay far far away. I hear Utah is great, check it out.
