Clearing Autumn Storm over Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park (I)
I visited Dream Lake in early November of 2021 during a cross-country road trip, just after a small snow storm had passed through the area. My parents and I hiked up at sunrise uncertain if we would even see anything, as lingering storm clouds stuck stubbornly to the mountains. But as we ascended the trail, wind began to disperse the clouds, and by the time we arrived, we could start to see the mountains above the lake. Unfortunately, that same wind also blew snow at 30 mph into our faces. I struggled to keep my lens and filter free from snow. At one point I inadvertently participated in the polar bear challenge by falling into the lake while trying to retrieve a filter pouch that had slipped away from my hands. On the bright side, the view was simply spectacular, and it made falling into a frozen lake well worth the trouble.
