Rocky Mountains, USA: The southern to middle Rocky Mountains were captured by this photograph with low sunlight. The middle Rockies include the Big Horn range of Wyoming (snow capped range almost center of horizon) and the Unita Mountains of northeastern Utah (snow capped range left side of horizon). The southern Rockies includes the Front Range, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sawatch Ranges, and the San Juan Mountains. The eastern (Front Range, Sangre de Cristo) and western ranges (Sawatch, San Juan's) are separated by intermontane basins. The southernmost basin and near center of the image is the San Luis Valley of Colorado. On the eastern edge of the San Luis Valley is the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
