Capitol Peak rises majestically above waves of golden autumn aspens in Colorado's Elk Mountains, its 14,137-foot summit draped in fresh snow while alpenglow illuminates the dramatic east face. This autumn photograph captures the perfect transition between seasons, when the first significant snowfall blankets the high peaks while valleys below still celebrate fall with brilliant displays of aspen color. Capitol Peak, one of Colorado's most technical fourteeners, commands attention with its distinctive profile and the legendary Knife Edge ridge visible along its northeast face, all bathed in the soft light of late afternoon.
