Emerald Lake

Emerald lake is a popular destination from Bear Lake trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park. The Emerald colored water is gorgeous and fresh.

September in Rocky Mountain National Park, and the clouds were hanging low over Emerald Lake. The water was so clear I could see the rocks on the bottom, and the reflections of the mountains were almost perfect despite the soft mist.
