  • A black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) feeds on grass in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Colorado. Black-tailed prairie dogs are native to North American grasslands although their populations are well below historical levels. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1992 on the site of a former U.S. Army chemical weapons manufacturing facility.

  • The Three Graces reach high into the sky in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Three Graces are just one of many dramatic sandstone features of the park. According to geologists, the sedimentary rock was tilted by the forces that built nearby Pikes Peak and other mountains.

  • The Maroon Bells are reflected in Maroon Lake in Colorado on a still autumn morning. The Maroon Bells are a pair of mountains, the tallest of which is 14,156 feet (4,317 meters). The peaks are located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness of White River National Forest.

  • Pegmatite, a light-colored granite, forms bright stripes on the otherwise dark walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. These stripes were found on the Painted Wall, an especially dramatic part of the national park and the highest cliff in all of Colorado. Pegmatite is the result of especially water-rich magma, which is the last to cool and harden. Because it remains fluid longer, it is able to squeeze into cracks in rocks, resulting in the light-colored lines here.

  • Ruby Peak (left) and Mount Owen are reflected in Lake Irwin, located near Crested Butte, Colorado, at sunrise. Located in Gunnison County, Ruby Peak has an elevation of 12641 feet (3853 meters); Mount Owen is slightly taller with an elevation of 13058 feet (3980 meters). Lake Irwrin, also known as Lake Brennand, was formed in 1963 with the completion of the Lake Brennand Dam.

  • A very large and bright rainbow seems to land on the summit of Badito Cone, a 8942 foot (2726 meter) peak in Huerfano County, Colorado. Badito Cone is one of several peaks that were formed by jets of magma that erupted from holes or cracks in the rock of that area about 25 million years ago.

  • Fall colors line the bluff at Tomichi Point, high above the Gunnison River in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado. The gorge is the steepest in North America, dropping 2,772 feet (845 meters) at one point. It's called the Black Canyon because it's so steep in places that light doesn't reach the bottom.

  • The fast-moving Gunnison River carves a deep gorge in the rock at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Near this point, the Gunnison River drops 240 feet per mile (45 m/km), causing it to gain speed and strength to erode tougher rock. The Gunnison River drops more within the national park than the Mississippi River does between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico.
