The Story Behind This Shot
A double exposure of a Genesee Park bison whose back is the real ridgeline near Lizard Head Pass, with the pointed summit as his hump and the serrated ridge running down to his head. Lizard Head itself is a roughly 13,100-foot spire of volcanic rock on the ridge west of the pass, and it is notoriously loose. Look closely and he is still mid-lick.
A bold, graphic wildlife print where the outline does most of the talking.
About Lizard Head Pass
Bison - Lizard Head Pass is a double exposure; its landscape was photographed at Lizard Head Pass, Colorado. A high San Juan pass south of Telluride, watched over by a crumbling volcanic spire.
- Pass elevation: 10,222 ft
- Road: CO 145 (San Juan Skyway), paved
- Distance from Telluride: About 10-12 miles south
Best light: Lizard Head and the Wilsons sit west of the pass, so from the road their east faces are lit head-on in the morning and silhouetted at sunset.
