After record snowfall this past winter, parts of the Rockies still have some 20-30 feet of snow. A lot of Memorial Day hiking and camping activities have been put on hold as many areas are still not passable.

The sun was low in the sky making it large. The smoke haze made it so you could stare at it. I did not see the red ring the picture shows but a large orange ball was pretty cool to see.
The rest of this work week looks to have daytime temperatures some 10 degrees below normal. Only about 3 months to late. Currently 48 and light rain here, ugly.
