Eric Schuette loves taking photos of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Every trip into the park can be a special moment. “The mountains were completely covered by clouds. As we hiked into the darkness you could see little signs of clearing and then just before the sun came up the clouds thinned and we were left with a beautiful winter scene looking out towards Long’s Peak.” Photo by Eric Schuette.

Snowy mountains are gorgeous, but can be challenging models. Casey Withers was recently at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming trying to capture the sunrise. It was a cold morning and clouds were moving in. “This shot was set up originally as a test shot as we waited for sunrise, but three minutes later the mountains were covered. Glad I was prepared.” Photo by Casey Withers. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 12/22/15.

Sunsets are amazing at the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Randy Langstraat captured this pic from Cape Royal — a point that provides a panorama up, down, and across the canyon. With seemingly unlimited vistas to the east and west, it is popular for both sunrise and sunset. Cape Royal is on the North Rim of the park, which will open for summer in May.

Dogwoods (Cornus florida) are often among the earliest trees to turn red—occasionally as early as August. Their summer green first changes to a dull red, but the color brightens as fall progresses. This one, growing beside the Little Pigeon River in Greenbrier, is just beginning to show its brilliant fall color. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, from the Park’s Facebook page.
