I started hiking up with the intent to photograph sunset from a nearby grassy summit, but as I toiled upward and the clouds built I realized the light was not going to wait for me. I threw down my pack and got my camera gear out to make the most of the views from a clearing just above the treeline, trying to use the close glowing larches to my advantage. The light did not last long, and this is the only panorama I managed to capture before the night went dull and lifeless. The good news was that after the light left I didn't need to climb fast any more, so I got to enjoy a leisurely rest of the hike.

This has been on my list since 1975. If Italy names a mountain range after a character from a movie, you know it's a place you have to get to. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolemite

Yeah that’s definitely where the name comes from haha

The other good news is you've found a beautiful vista as a consequence.
Plenty of people will shoot the sunset from the summit. It's almost too obvious.
You've taken a worthy photo of your hike and one that's more unique.

That's a good way of looking at it, thanks!

It’s very beautiful. Maybe even more unique than your original plan. Glad you didn’t try an push yourself to summit and potentially seriously injury yourself, or worse.

What a stunning view! Perfect photo.

I don't think I've ever seen such a rich golden color in real life. Quite photo, your framing is superb.

Mind if I ask what time of year this was? I was going to plan a trip there for November but I read a bunch saying it was too late in the season.

Some of my ancestors are from Northeastern Italy. Every time I see pictures of the Dolomites I feel like I should go learn more about that part of my family's history and explore the area.

They're surprisingly not very red! You're probably seeing this one fairly accurately.

It can be not too late like this year, but it's risky - it often rains in November and it's nowhere near warm enough to put on a mac and hike anyway, and if you can't hike there's comparatively little to do, especially up in the valleys. November is a transition month between summer season and winter season, so a lot of restaurants, hotels and such will be closed.
However, Christmas markets open earlier every year and so you do have something to do in late November.

Baffled by this comment lol. Of course you can just bring suitable clothes...
danirijeka t1_iyvpo4p wrote
It's not going to be an enjoyable hike, at any rate.
I wouldn't spend money (I wouldn't do it for free, either, even if it's literally outside the house) to hike through foggy woods and slippery meadows and get possibly lost in the process, but you do you, I guess?
Ionisation t1_iyvt7m5 wrote
Idk, winter hikes are probably my favourite. I've climbed mountains in -50 in the Arctic, although on second thoughts I might be a bit nuts, yes
danirijeka t1_iyvvucx wrote
You're not wrong, winter hikes here are great! They're a lot better than late autumn outings - it's a lot drier and there's little chance of rain. Late autumn hikes tend to leave one very soggy.
But hey, dedicated hikers will find something to like in the late autumn muddy slogs too, I guess. :D

This was late October, which was a bit early for some of the fall colors lower down, so I would say early November would work.
