A few shots from around Twin Lakes. Mount Elbert towering over the valley, views around Twin Lakes, a stretch of the Continental Divide Trail, and a morning at Mount Elbert Forebay. This whole area was one of my favorite parts of Colorado. The scale of the mountains around here is hard to capture in photos.

Yogi and I were lucky to be here just before the wildfires and smoke started affecting the area, and had an incredible experience exploring it.

Drove over Independence Pass in late June during a three-week road trip out West. First time here and couldn’t believe the views. Still a decent amount of snow up high, but everything was starting to green up.
