  • A band of cirrus clouds take on pastel colors at sunset in the sky over Mount Larrabee and the Boulder Peaks in the North Cascades of Washington state. Mount Larrabee, which stands 7,865 feet (2,397 meters) is part of the Skagit Range, which is a sub-range of the North Cascades. It is located less than a mile and a half south of the Canadian border and was originally known as Red Mountain. During the summer months, its red peak, caused by the oxidation of iron in its rock, is distinct.
