Lost lake

Aren't we privileged to walk through this great National Forest and gaze out East, across 70 miles, and say "wow!"?. A little haze keeps the mystery of the Crestone cluster (5 fourteeners). It took the ten of us to find Lost Lake.

On December 1, we braved the big breeze on the rocky tor above the lake to take in the tremendous views. Then we went back to the lakeside to recline in the sun for a snack.

Most of us stood up through the snow covered slopes on the slightly-discernable trail.
The camera shook a bit the night before, recording Jupiter, Venus, and the moon grinning at this lovely place.

Next Monday, 9 a.m., South Fork Visitor Center. Probably a hike, not snowshoeing--but who knows?
