This shot was made evening of Oct. 1, 2016 on Owl Creek Road east of Ridgway, CO. It had been a mostly overcast afternoon with thunderstorms and very little sunlight. There was a gap between the clouds and the horizon and we could see that about 10 minutes before sunset the sun would have an opportunity to shine under the clouds.

We set up our cameras and waited, hoping that as the sun set there would be good light at sunset. Right on que, as the sun dropped below the clouds, Chimney Peak and Court House Peak, and the hillsides covered with Aspen and Scrub Oak in the peak of their fall colors exploded with color in the late afternoon light.

Chimney Peak and the surrounding areas were used during the filming of the movies “True Grit” and “How the West Was Won” both with John Wayne.
