Taos New Mexico Sangre De Cristo Sunset of a lifetime. After a long day of skiing and snowboarding up on top of Taos Ski Valley we had come down from the mountains and looks back as the sun started to set and the most amazing display of colors hit the clouds moving over the mountain peaks. North New Mexico high country with brush and snow covering the ground and high peaks that touch the clouds.
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. This mountain range is 242 miles in length and contains several peaks which are over 12,000 feet above sea level in New Mexico and over 14,000 feet in Colorado. The highest peak is Blanca Peak in Colorado at 14,351 feet above sea level. The name of the mountains, which means “Blood of Christ” in Spanish, refers to the reddish color observed during sunrise and sunset. This view of the Sangre de Cristo range was photographed at sunset from Arroyo Seco near Taos, New Mexico, USA.
