Telluride Alpenglow

Telluride Alpenglow refers to the stunning, reddish or pinkish light that appears on the mountains and landscape around sunset or sunrise in the Telluride region. This natural phenomenon occurs when the sun's rays are low on the horizon, casting a warm glow that highlights the rugged terrain and enhances the area's breathtaking scenery. Alpenglow is caused by the scattering of sunlight through the atmosphere, often amplified by atmospheric particles and snow-covered peaks. Visitors frequently admire this vibrant glow as it emphasizes the mountain’s majestic features and creates a memorable visual experience.
