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.
This is definitely another instance where the camera just does not do justice to the beauty and majesty of a location. This
place had an overwhelming feeling to it - maybe magic, maybe spiritual, maybe both, maybe more. I could have stayed here for
quite a while - just soaking it in. I couldn't scan further left because of the bright sun but that entire side of the lake
was up against a sheer wall of rock. So very powerful.
