This image of the Milky Way rising over Hahn’s Peak, north of Steamboat Springs, CO was taken in June 2023. This area is far from the light pollution of more densely populated urban areas, allowing for amazing views of the Milky Way when the moon is below the horizon. The bright orange area near the bottom right is the core of our galaxy shining brightly!
