September 18, 2010 - I drove to Rocky Mountain National Park early in
hopes of beating the rush of Denverites heading to the mountains. This is a prime weekend for finding great fall colors. I luckily
found a parking spot at the Glacier Gorge trailhead. Quickly I prepared everything and started my trek to find
Black Lake - deep (about 5 miles)into the Rockies from the trailhead. I had been told about Black Lake by
Lori Salisbury a few years ago. She found it to be a very inspirational
place.
A little further from the trailhead, not far at all from the previous image, I came upon this view that
captured my attention because of the striking color contrast. The deep blue sky appeared to draw out the gold of the aspens which
was set off by the dark green of the evergreen which bled into the darkness of the trail ahead.
