I took this photo 5 years ago on one of the short hikes off Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. We are planning to get fairly early tomorrow and escape another hot day here in Boulder by going to the same place, while it still have plenty of snow.
Would it look the same?
Lakes are melting, but still plenty of ice, deep under water and on top of it.
Different perspective changes how you see things in life and in the mountains. View from the water level would make you think that there isn’t much behind the boulder in the center of the lake. Look at my prior post, view from the Andrews Glacier. Changes everything.
Did a great hike today with @winifredlezine to the Andrews Glacier in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Beautiful hike. This is my third glacier in Colorado 😎
One of the best parts is that only one other hiker, out of hundreds, decided to hike up to this destination.
