Snowy Range sunrise, overlooking North Gap Lake

Middle Gaylor Lake at sunset. After the bristlecones, we headed north to the Tioga Pass area. The lake was mostly frozen over. In an attempt to get some interesting foreground, I lay on my stomach free some of the frozen shoreline. On my 2nd attempt, it collapsed under my legs and I fell in, getting soaked up to my knees! I got the message & stopped trying to mess with Mother Nature then.

The little Chapel on the Rock on the Peak to Peak Highway in Colorado used to be surrounded by a pool. After the flood of September 2013, it became a logjam, looking more like a lumber mill.

After the flood of 2013, the water level in the creeks stayed high and made for some interesting ice formations.

Wet White Pocket at Sunset Not only were the potholes full of water, but there were small and not-so-small ponds throughout the Pocket.
