Rocky Mountain High! Colorado!
This place really takes your breath away, literally. After a few minutes hiking up one of the trails, you are gasping for breath. We are not used to the altitude. Jon and I seem to be affected more than Rhonda.
The picture is of me standing in Gem Lake, our destination today. It's just a little bowl carved into the granite that collects rainwater, but it cooled our feet after a long climb. The views down into the valley might have been more spectacular than anything I have ever seen. Rhonda says there is no doubt about it.
I'm going to put up a photo gallery of mostly panoramic photos. That's the only way to really capture the grandeur of this landscape. We are sorry to be leaving tomorrow, though excited about seeing the desert.
