I arrived at Scott Lake early in the morning in late September to a fresh blanket of snow

REFLECTIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS Size:13x19 FINE ART PAPER I headed to Wildflower ParkIt was a cool August summer morning when I arrived at the trailhead to Bierstadt Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I started up the steep trail at 5: 15 am to catch the sunrise at the lake and the Continental Divide. It would take me just under an hour to reach the lake. There are numerous switchbacks leading up the mountain through some stands of aspen trees. After about 20 minutes, I no longer needed my headlamp to guide my way up the mountain.
