Catch a Sunset Above Milner Pass

This is a great place to be at sunrise or sunset.  Bring a camera tripod and check the weather ahead of time.

Take Trail Ridge Road all the way to the top and park at the Alpine Visitor Center.  There's a great view from here, but if you're interested in photography I recommend taking the trail southwest to a ridge where there are usually a few small ponds.  Cross the road from the parking lot and you'll find the trail, which leads gently downhill for about 20 minutes.  This is a great way to avoid the crowds on Trail Ridge.
