I would like to have been here at dusk but this was the best I could muster at mid-morning.
I believe this is Kings Crown? with Cirque and Teakettle peaks in the background (I think).

You're right, that is king's crown. The peaks in the background are Sneffels (left and distant) and Stony Mountain (right and closer). Bummer about the light, but I like the comp.

Thanks Todd, I didn't think I was looking north but guess I was. That would make the distant whitish peak Cirque, correct?
I guess google earth could come in handy here. Wish it still had peak names.

I like the comp and the color. I'm glad you still shot it in the hot light!
