Just before sunrise the high country west of Colorado Springs turns rose for a few minutes, and anyone already out working gets to watch it happen. Timberline Landscaping is out in that light through the winter, plowing lots and drives, clearing sidewalks and stairs, spreading ice control on the surfaces that see no sun all day. Storms slide down off the Rampart Range with little warning and vary wildly block to block, so the route is judged as it is driven. Piles are placed to keep entrances open and sightlines clear. By the time the color fades from the peaks, the pavement is bare and the day can begin.
