Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Climbing Mount Elbert', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. This painting is based off of a scene I came across many summers ago while ascending the 14er (fourteener) Mount Elbert, just a few hundred feet below the summit. From this point, looking towards the north, Mount Massive could be seen. Both Mount Massive and Mount Elbert have an elevation of over 14,000 feet. Rising between Leadville and Buena Vista, these peaks are popular hiking destinations. Here, in early July, vivid blue-purple Sky Pilot wildflowers are growing between the rocks in the alpine soil. A bright, clear blue sky shines overhead.
