I love the beautiful mountains, lake and trees at Bear Lake, Colorado. Then, you add the mirror reflection of nature’s beauty, right back at you, it is awesome! Bear Lake is a scenic trailhead and destination in Rocky Mountain National Park. The lake is at an elevation of 9,450 ft and the alpine lake rests beneath the Hallett Peak and the Continental Divide. Several trails start at the lake.

Located on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park, Chasm Lake fills a deep cirque carved from the base of Mt. Meeker (13,911'), Longs Peak (14,259' and the highest point in the park), and Mt. Lady Washington (13,281'). The famous east-facing wall of Longs Peak known as "the diamond" rises 2,456' above this calm alpine lake which sits at 11,760'. Starting two hours before daybreak I made my way up the 4.2 miles to the lake mostly in the dark and arrived a little before sunrise and just in time to capture this image of the early morning summer light casting an orange glow on the peaks and surface of the water.

This young man looked up, turned toward me, and gave me a quick smile. What a cutie!

I was sitting on a rock watching this beautiful elk and became so focused on capturing his image that I didn't notice he was working his way up the hill in my direction. When I lowered my camera I realized that he was less than 50 feet away. This was far too close for his safety. I was unable to slip away without risk of provoking him. I waited silently for him to pass. These are Nature’s creatures. This image was captured in Rocky Mountain national Park Colorado.

I watched this little fox gobble up a mouse in about 30 seconds. He sat there, fully satisfied, as I took his/her photo.

I saw this young man drinking from the Colorado River. I didn’t think I was bothering him until this moment when he looked up at me.

These two were on a leisurely stroll around the corner from my cabin in Grand Lake, Colorado.
