(1 in a multiple picture set) I always get out of bed to watch the sunrise. From the balcony of our cabin in Mesa Verde NP, the San Juan Mountains east, near Durango, CO, were visible the day before. As the sun began to rise, I got this silouette of the peaks just above the mesa on which the park is situation. (See next picture.)
