Located in Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods is famous for its impressive red sandstone formations. The contrast between the towering red rocks and the bright blue sky makes it a favorite for landscape photographers. For the best shots, visit at golden hour to capture the warm light casting dramatic shadows on the rocks.

The Maroon Bells, located near Aspen, are one of the most photographed mountain peaks in the world. Their iconic twin peaks rise above Maroon Lake, creating stunning reflections in the water, especially in the fall when the aspen trees turn gold. Early morning is the best time to catch the peaceful lake reflections before the crowds arrive.

Great Sand Dunes National Park is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America, with the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains as a backdrop. This unique combination of desert and mountain landscapes offers dramatic photo opportunities, particularly at sunset when the light casts long shadows and enhances the contours of the dunes.
