Rocky Mountain National Park 3

[sparker1]

These were taken on an early morning hike that included Bear Lake, Nymph Lake, Dream Lake and Emerald Lake, a 3.6 mile round trip hike with 700 feet of elevation gain. The sunrise that day was nothing special, and the wind prevented reflections except at Nymph Lake. Oh well...

These are the Dream Lake and Emerald Lake shots.

Thanks, Fee. Funny thing, after hiking up the mountain, my breath was taken away, too.

Wish I was having trouble breathing..... due to a hike and/or elevation!!! Lol Great pictures Stan, as always.

Beautiful shots!! I was at Emerald Lake a few years ago but sadly the weather I got was somewhat worse than the weather you got! (Well, that's my excuse for my poor pics!! ;))

Stan, you are the nature man!!! Your photos are just always so beautiful!

Thanks Richard and Maureen.

Too bad, slicendice, that's a tough hike to get nothing from it. I was disappointed that the wind prevented reflections, except at Nymph Lake. I should have just been thankful the weather was good.
