The images on these pages were captured over several days of touring the Headwaters of the Arkansas River in Southeast Colorado and the nearby passes; Monarch, Cottonwood and Independence, which are among the highest in the State. Whether raining or sunlit, the vistas are always enchanting and an unforgetable source of wistful reverie.
