Themes: Panoramic Photos
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.
The Stanley Hotel is one of the iconic buildings in the Estes Valley, built by the same Stanley that made the Stanley Steamer car in the early 1900s. It is a beautiful building which serves visitors from around the world. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

Last night I decided to take advantage of the thick smoke from the fires in Wyoming and Montana so I climbed up to the east summit of Mount Meeker to photograph the setting sun between the west peak of Meeker and Longs Peak. The sunset didn't disappoint. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

We had a very hazy and somewhat cloudy start to the day here in Estes Park but that made for some nice colors in the sky above Horseshoe Park at sunrise. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

The sun rises above Mount Lady Washington through smoke filled skies revaling the many lakes along the Front Range. I shot this while climbing Longs Peak. This was my view of the sunrise from the Keyhole. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

There was not a breath of wind this morning as I sat beside this small pond in the Haynach Lakes area of Rocky Mountain National Park. In the background a few young elk were bugling and every once in a while a mother elk and her young ones would briefly appear behind the trees. She kept a careful watch on me while her little ones jumped and danced in the warmth of the new morning. These are moments that can barely be described as the joy wells up within you.

Dark menacing clouds fill the sky above Lawn Lake while the lights of Colorado's Front Range strangely glow. At sunset thick low-lying clouds moved in and surrounded me. As I made my way down the mountain I broke through the bottom of the clouds and was finally able to see my destination for the night, "Lawn Lake" while the lights of the Front Range glowed in the distance. Just after I shot this image I crossed a snow field that had fresh mountain lion tracks heading my same direction. Fortunately we didn't cross paths this evening and I was able to continue unimpeded.

Not many folks get up here but from a distance I've been looking at this valley for years. It was quite a slog to get here from camp in time for sunrise but the beautiful rocky terrain mixed with the warm mountain light made it well worth the effort. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

It is not often that all the elements for a photo come together. As we hiked up to Spirit Lake the wind was blowing and thick clouds covered the mountains with their shade. It looked like I might not need to take out my camera this evening.Then, about an hour before sunset the clouds began to part making way for the light of the setting sun and the winds died allowing the water to resume its peaceful stillness. That evening was one I will remember for a very long time. The mountains and remaining clouds above them lit on fire and reflected on the still water. The sunset lasted longer than any I have seen for a long time and so I was able to make this photo which is a composite of 6 images which allows it to be printed at very large sizes.

Red Gulch is a little visited area on the western end of Rocky Mountain National Park and is part of the Never Summer Mountains. This area has been calling to me lately and I have a feeling that soon I will be exploring this basin which I have only seen until now from Farview Point along Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park.

I spent most of yesterday lying on the forest floor photographing budding flowers and lichen covered rocks. I came back with some decent images but then this morning we had some unusual weather conditions. I had planned to be up in the mountains but in the end I decided that I could get a better shot from back near Glen Haven. This is Longs Peak this morning at sunrise with fog over the Estes Valley.

Longs Peak and the mountains of the Continental Divide look out over the Estes Valley on a perfect April morning. This image can be printed in several different ratios. The one shown above is in a 1x5 ratio but I can also do a 1x3 ratio or even a longer one which I think is about a 1x7 ratio. If you are interested in seeing how these other ratios are cropped, please send me an e-mail and I'll send you a small sample. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.

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 © copyright 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 © copyright by Erik Stensland.
