A long pre-dawn hike up into the mountains, past some old war (WWI) caves, along a few very exposed rocky ledges, and you eventually reach this turquoise lake. The lake level was VERY low. It looked like it was maybe 20% of normal, with the rest being gray clay. I was hoping the rising sun's alpenglow would hit the spire just right, but its position in the sky meant that it hit all the neighboring cliffs instead. Eventually some clouds blew through and added some drama to this fall scene. This is a popular place and by the time I was ready to head down there was a consistent trickle of people hiking up.

Thanks for stopping by! You can find my full gallery, along with notes about places to check out and photography guides on my website: https://www.wildlandsphoto.com.

Haha I'm sure it is! This was from late fall. I bet earlier in the year the lake level is higher with snow melt.
