This is a fire rainbow - the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena.
The picture was captured this week on the Idaho/Washington border. The event lasted about 1 hour.
Clouds have to be Cirrus, at least 20k feet in the air, with just the right amount of ice crystals; and the sun has to hit the clouds at precisely 58 degrees.
