At 10,244 feet sits one of the true treasures of Rocky Mountain National Park, Lake Haiyaha. A millenia ago the glacier between Hallet Peak and Otis Peak carved out this canyon and deposited the boulders that make this lake so spectacular. Haiyaha is a Native American word meaning "rock". Perfect name for a perfect lake.
Heading down from Joe Mills Mountain, I spotted these trees. It was like the branches were reaching out to grab me. Do you remember that scene from Snow White?
