A vivid sunset over the Sangre de Cristo mountains at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve April 7, 2017 near Mosca, Colorado. The mountains were named by early Spanish explorers for the crimson light that often appears on them at sunrise or sunset. This color is especially vivid when they are snow-covered.
