Summit Lake by Christine Sovig Gilbert
This photograph was taken in August 2010 on Mount Evans in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Mount Evans is one of the handful of Rocky Mountain peaks over 14000 feet where it is actually possible to drive up to the summit. Summit Lake is nearly at the peak, and a popular place to stop and climb the rest of the way in the summer months.

I would love to explore the area. Just being there. Using my senses, feel the wind, the scents and see the light change while the clouds have different colors and travel across the sky. Thank you for the experience
So beautiful..
