Each of four mornings, I drove to the summit of the Mount Rose Highway near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in the hope of capturing a beautiful sunrise. The skies just didn't want to cooperate on the first three mornings, but on the last morning of my trip (March 20, 2016) I was rewarded with this glorious sunrise!
