Poudre Lake at Milner Pass, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, mid-August 2007

Crystal Lake, along the Million Dollar Highway (US 550) just south of Ouray, Colorado

American Basin, near Lake City, Colorado, shot in late July 2010. Rented a Jeep in town the night before and drove up early in the morning. This is a very popular spot in the summertime, but I was the only one there at 5:15 AM. You can definitely trade some sleep for early morning solitude.
