Never Summer Mountains

This picture of the Never Summer Mountains was taken off Route 34 near Fairview Curve in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.  The Never Summer Mountains are just one of the many mountain ranges in the Rocky Mountains.  One is looking at Mount Nimbus on the left and Mount Cumulus on the right, both of which are above 12000 feet in elevation.  The Never Summer Mountains form the Continental Divide between the headwaters of the Colorado River to the East and the Upper Basin of the North Platte River to the West.  Funny, mountains were named after clouds!
