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.
After resting and just soaking in my surroundings - and that was so enjoyable - I thought I would try to get a self picture. I
thought I had the camera focused on the large rock and knew I had 10 seconds to get there. I didn't realize how much water I
had to jump and that it needed to be done via slippery rocks. I just barely got to the rock when the shutter released. I
decided not to chance falling in the water. Sorry it is not a better image but this is proof I was there.
