Middle Park & North Park








This was probably the worst photo day I've had. It was reported that there was 20" of new snow in North Park (20cm, maybe). In Middle Park it was cold, windy, and the clouds were low so I could rarely see the peaks. I only took 81 shots (normally about 250-350). Nevertheless it was still a pleasant journey.

Top photo is Lake Granby just after sunrise. I couldn't figure out why it was not frozen at all, and Grand Lake, just a few miles north was solid ice. Second photo is Colorado River in Kawuneeche Valley. The Colorado River flows into Grand Lake and on to Lake Granby where it exits. The third and fourth photos are of the Front Range from the west. Fifth photo is Poudre Falls of the Cache La Poudre River (cash la pooder). Sixth shot is Cache La Poudre River just below the falls. Bottom photo is some winter color in Middle Park.
