Free Day at Rocky Mountain National Park

Lawn Lake Trailhead to Ypsilon Lake


The first thing we came upon (after the first uphill trek) was a stream with some serious erosion.



Can you believe those trees? I don't know how they manage to stay up there.

We crossed over the stream a little farther up and did the serious uphill.


The little pond before the lake: "Chipmunk Lake"


Then we finally made it to Ypsilon Lake!


A backward glance at Ypsilon peak on the way down...


Every step back to the trailhead was just as beautiful.




In the glowing afternoon sun you can see the newly turning Aspen- bright yellow!
