There is a beautiful place on the western slope where the mountains end abruptly and drop right off into the valley, creating dramatic landscapes and amazing photos.  I headed up to the Grand Mesa with my friend in time to catch the sun setting over the ridge of the valley at a place called Land’s End.  The greens of the forest were being illuminated with the beautiful orange hue of the sun just as the rocks in front of me were.  The shadows were simultaneously being cast along the mountains and valley offering a great contrast to the orange and blue skies above.
