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.
I took this while resting from the steep climb through the forest. It was so relaxing - only wish you could feel the cool
breeze that was blowing and hear the stream rushing by. I asked someone coming down the trail how long I had and was pleased
to find out I was only 15 minutes away.
