San Juan Mountains from Dallas Divide in morning light, Colorado, USA
The San Juan Mountains are a high and rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining has ended in the region. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover a large portion of the San Juan Mountains

EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold the majestic beauty of the San Juan Mountains as they bask in the soft morning light, casting a spellbinding glow over the rugged landscape. This print captures the essence of Colorado's untamed wilderness, showcasing nature at its most awe-inspiring. The San Juan Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountain range, stretch across southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. With their towering peaks and dramatic slopes, these mountains have witnessed centuries of human history. Once a hub for gold and silver mining during Colorado's early days, towns like Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride emerged as bustling mining camps that shaped this region's identity. Today, remnants of this rich mining heritage can still be found scattered throughout these picturesque mountains. However, large-scale mining operations have ceased long ago. Instead, what remains is an untouched wilderness waiting to be explored. Encompassed by the vast expanse of the San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests – which blanket much of this mountainous terrain – nature enthusiasts are treated to endless opportunities for adventure. Hiking trails wind through pristine alpine meadows while crystal-clear lakes reflect snow-capped peaks in their tranquil waters. This stunning print serves as a reminder that even though time has passed and industries have come and gone from these lands; one thing remains constant – Mother Nature's ability to captivate our hearts with her breathtaking creations.
