Rockies

Moraine Lake 

 The weather can change rather quickly in these altitudes, especially as storm fronts roll over the mountains.  Looking at the top of this picture, you can see some light clouds rolling in.  In the previous picture, taken only 5 minutes before, there was blue sky.  Ten minutes after this picture was taken, it was snowing!
Moraine Lake is another glacial lake, which accounts for the beautiful blue color.  The picture to the left shows the lake in the background, while in the foreground is a path leading up to a scenic overlook – where the top picture was taken.

We took a few more pictures in and around Moraine Lake.  The one at the right captures the shoreline with a series of mountain peaks in the background.  The picture fails to capture the magnitude of these incredible mountains.
