First Light Gondolas captures the fresh, crisp air of dawn, with the sun just peeking out above the mountains.
It's the first ride up of the day. Two red gondola cabins glide along their cables above snowy peaks and a forest of evergreens, with a golden glow spreading across the horizon.
This painting makes a great companion to the Red Chair and Steep Descent prints, for anyone who lives for the lift line.
