Pristine pond at 11000'. Great hike/scramble to reach it.
Primitive Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park
Fantastic backpacking trip last weekend--More images to follow. This one was shot with my iphone after the camera battery died--taken just beyond our campsite on Fern Lake. Overflow from the lake becomes a rushing stream. Moisture hangs in the air. The first morning light slips through giant pine trees while a pair of Ptarmigans scratch around on the forest floor behind me... I'm sure all that comes through clearly in this image.
