Sneffels Auroraglow
November 12, 2025 | Sneffels Range, Colorado
The Sneffels Range glows magenta from the bounce light of brilliant red auroras in the northern sky in November 2025.
Last night was another remarkable night of auroras all the way down in southwest Colorado, similar to the solar storm last year in October 2024. While I wasn't in such an epic spot as last year's show, it was still incredible to witness the pillars of red northern lights this far down south.
You know how when the mountains are illuminated by dawn/sunrise light it's called "alpenglow"? Well I'll call this "auroraglow" as the mountains glowed magenta from the light of the red auroras overhead (at least from what the camera could see with a bright lens and long exposure).
