Photographers and readers from across Grand County — visitors and longtime residents alike — capture the beauty of our home: sweeping vistas, changing light, sunsets and wildlife. They send their images to Sky-Hi News.

Here is a selection of recent photographs.

Robert Shoop photographed this swath of dense aspen that he said has colonized an avalanche path through the forest known as the Disney Chute. He said this is one of the most beautiful aspen groves he has ever photographed, but noted a tragic history. In April 1957, a film crew working on an avalanche documentary for Walt Disney Productions came to film a controlled avalanche. Highway officials triggered the slide after a huge snowstorm deposited about 79 inches of snow the preceding week. The avalanche was vastly larger than anticipated, killing cameraman John Hermann and highway worker Wayne Whitlock. In 2019, the Disney Chute once again ran onto U.S. 40.
