Once you get to a certain altitude in the mountains the entire landscape begins to change. It becomes a different kind of desert. Not a desert lacking in water, but a desert created by the extreme temperatures and abundance of winter snow. This photograph was taken just below the tree line in the Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado. In this photo, the treeline is very distinct. In Arizona, the tree line is about 11,600 feet and there are only a handful of peaks that extend higher.
