Sample of what I did yesterday
Went up to Sky Pond in Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park Sunday. Along the way I passed, The Loch:





above The Loch is "Glass Lake"





from just below Glass Lake you get a really nice view of the gorge you just hiked up:




I'll get more pics fixed up after work today.

Great area.
One more year and we finally head out west to hit a couple of national parks.

Nice photos!

The area above The Loch is incredible - especially now with all the snowmelt coming down.

Still some snowfields up there and some that you have to cross, but it was all fairly well consolidated. Saw some evidence of a recent slide though up high above Sky Pond on a really steep wall.

Roam, now you've done it! I was feeling pretty dang good this morning. You posted photos of the Loch area and made me even more homesick for Colorado :-(

Great pics, though. I can't wait until I move back.

I'll have a bunch more photos from that area on my website in a day or two.

Bison, drive safe and give a shout when you get here.
