Mount Sopris (pronounced “so-priss”) is a stunning, duel peaked mountain outside of the small town of Carbondale, Colorado. It is a reminder to look up from time to time, to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and to consider the bigger picture. On a personal note, it is being thankful for where we came from, and also keeping an eye on where we are going. It is a reminder of family and those who work tirelessly to do the best they can for their loved ones.
