On one hand, I think the best way to experience this very sunset* is to watch the video I made: Colorado Sunset Time-Lapse – In A Colorado Minute (Week 341). But just looking at a few of the photos I took that night works even better for realizing how much the scene changes during a Colorado sunset – before and after the sun disappears first behind the mountains, then behind the true horizon.

| Before the sun sets. |

| As the sun sets behind the mountains. |
 |
| After the sun sets behind the Rocky Mountains. |
 |
| The most magic time during a river reflection sunset. |
 |
| As the sun sets behind the true horizon. |

| After the sun sets behind the true horizon. |
