PHOTOGRAPHERS

From Estes Park to Fruita and back to Colorado Springs, The Gazette photo staff spent 2022 traveling Colorado and the West to bring you compelling images that tell stories about local communities and the great state we call home. In this magazine are some of our favorite pictures. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed bringing them to you.
