Frozen Emerald Lake

This is Spring Break week for my kids and we headed up to Estes Park for a couple of days to take in some hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. This lake is at the end of a trail we took that passes by two other lakes (Nymph and Dream Lake). We snowshoed on up and had a wonderful hike! It was snowpacked and we even had all kinds of weather as we made our way up the trail. It snowed on us most of the time, but the sky opened up just as we approached Emerald Lake so I could capture some blue sky!! If you look closely, you can see some other snowshoers out on the frozen lake. I thought it really gave some perspective on the amazing grandness of these mountains!

This brings back a lot of memories, since I have snowshoed up until the last couple of years. Our lakes are open around the edges now, so I guess we are ahead of you toward spring. This is a gorgeous scene.

What a fantastic scene. It's great that you can do hiking tours like this together with your children. They will never forget this.
