Juniper Pass sits at 11,000 ft along the road up Mount Blue Sky, open meadows, scattered firs, and views forever. Katie and John made it look effortless.
Why Juniper Pass
Juniper Pass Picnic Site is a quiet pull-off on the Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) scenic byway, just minutes from Echo Lake. It gives you instant access to alpine meadows and old-growth fir without any hiking.
The Session
We worked through the meadows toward the tree line and let the late light do what it does best up here, long, warm, and unhurried.
Planning a Juniper Pass Session
The Mount Blue Sky road typically opens late May and closes with the first big snow. Elevation hits fast, drink water, bring a layer, and don't plan a hike before the shoot.
