Description

On the 4th of July I went up near Taylor Reservoir in Gunnison County, CO. The night was cool around 35F at 9700 feet elevation and even with a few late campers passing by, the skies were nice and dark. I first visited this area in the 1980s when my parents took me up to go fly fishing in the river behind this abandoned cabin.

To get a larger field of view, I created a 3 panel mosaic. A longer foreground shot was added to the composite image. Here is my version of the Taylor Park Milky Way.
