Rocky Mountain National Park in Winter

Way back in mid-February I spent a cold, gusty Friday hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. I was only the second car in the lot when I parked at the Bear Lake trailhead and set off for Nymph, Dream, and Emerald Lakes. Dream Lake is the most iconic spot in RMNP. After hiking a few miles through panoramic views of Longs Peak and Glacier Gorge, I had the frozen water dramatically framed by two mountains all to myself.
