I just spent three days in northern Colorado hiking and taking photos. Â The wildflowers were good only in a couple of spots–Shrine Pass and Dumont Lake on Rabbit Ears Pass. Â But the scenery was great all around. Â After hiking to the summit of Shrine Pass, I spent a night at Steamboat Lake. Â I saw a beautiful rainbow and the winds calmed for a perfect reflection in the morning. Â Finally, I hiked to American Lakes near Cameron Pass. Â It was a great hike. Â The small lakes are located in a lush green valley near the western edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. The hike only took about 2.5 hours to go the 4.5 miles. A hike that everyone should do at some point.
