These images of Rocky Mountain National Park are in a panoramic format which means that they are longer on one side than a typical photo. Most of these images are in a 1x2 or a 1x3 format. I've listed a couple of default print sizes but as long as we maintain the proportions we can print these images in a wide variety of sizes. Simply contact us by phone or the contact page on this website and we will talk through the options with you.

It was my birthday and what I wanted most was to begin the day with a spectacular sunrise over the national park. What better way could there be to start a new year? On this occasion it actually happened. Beautiful clouds lit up like pink cotton candy adding warmth to the land below. Longs Peak watched this unfold as Forest Canyon begain to awake to the sight of a beautiful new day. This is one of those moments that is far too rare, but one I will cherrish for years.

On one of those idyllic Colorado winter days I took some time to ski around the Kawuneeche Valley on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. The many shadows in the snow and the beautiful blue sky above created a wonderfully peaceful scene that I will not soon forget. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

Yesterday morning we had an absolutely amazing sunrise here in Estes Park, Colorado. It was one of those rare occasions where the sky seemed to simply light on fire. I raced down to the lake as I knew that would provide some great reflections. I was thrilled to see that the lake had thawed quite a bit providing a nice combination of ice and open water. (I know this may look quite unreal and over-saturated but this was actually very close to the actual scene.) Photo © by Erik Stensland.

I stood in the snow on the side of Flattop mountain as a wind storm moved in. Over the top of Longs Peak a large lenticular cloud developed and then hovered in this spot for the next few hours. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

Amidst the plaque of the mountain pine beetle, aspen trees still thrive and give us hope that in the future these mountain-sides will be covered in slender golden aspen. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

It is a rare calm evening at Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park providing the opportunity for Longs Peak to reflect in the stil waters. I shot this image while testing out the very wide angle Canon 17mm ts-e lens. What amazing optical quality this lens provides, enabling me to make this panoramic print look great in even very large sizes. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

Strong cold winds, driving rain and falling snow on the mountains above made this far from an idyllic morning to be out before dawn. A small opening on the Eastern horizon however hinted at the possibility of some amazing light so I together with about 7 other photographers found ourselves at Sprague Lake hunkering down and waiting for a potential light show. A little later than we expected, the clouds lit up beautifully. Here, Rams Horn Mountain welcomes the warm light as the winds whip over Sprague Lake. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

I had the tundra all to myself on this beautiful June evening. Trail Ridge Road had not yet opened due to a record level of snow. After shooting sunset at Rock Cut I began making my way back only to find that the sky became even more beautiful. I quickly climbed up a snowbank and began searching for compositions. The simplicity of this snow-filled tundra with pink and purple clouds above expressed something of the solitude I felt this evening. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

Although it is already the 3rd of June, Trail Ridge Road was still closed for snow removal. It will be the latest opening of the road in 20 years. Despite the closure, perhaps even more because it was closed, I decided to hike up there and enjoy a quiet evening at Rock Cut. It was a beautiful sunset with the only sounds being the dripping of water from the melting snow and the sound of howling coyotes on the other side of Forest Canyon. This photo is a composite of about 8 separate photos and can thus be printed as a panorama at very large sizes with amazing detail. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

I was on the eastern slope of Mount Orton in Wild Basin after a morning of rain and thick fog. The fog began to part revealing a beautiful and almost magical forest amongst the clouds. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

A cold and windy December morning at Lake Estes in Estes Park, Colorado. This was taken looking to the east at sunrise. I wish we had spectacular sunrises like this more often! Photo © by Erik Stensland.

When I start shooting in Moraine Park again then I know that spring is here. The snow is melting, the Big Thompson is running fast, the grass is turning green, there is snow on the mountains and the clouds are much more cooperative than in the summer. It was a peaceful start to the morning with delicate light and stormy clouds to make things almost perfect.

This is a composite of 12 photographs taken as the sun set as seen from just west of Hallett Peak on top of the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was very, very cold and quite windy up on the barren tundra when I created this image but so very beautiful. I'm glad to have had the chance to be there on this wonderful evening.
