Reflection pools.
Near Lake Verna. July 2004


With it's 1,800FT elevation gain over about 7 miles the walk to Lake Verna makes a great day hike, but is most enjoyed as a over nighter. Surrounded by several very do-able peaks Including MOUNT CRAIG(120007FT), ISOLATION PEAK(13118FT),ANDREWS PEAK(12565FT) and some six alpine lakes, including an area called "Ten Lakes Park" you will be happy you saved a day to play! Maybe two. The Rocky Mountain National forest is truly a Colorado treat.
