I finally decided to do some snowshoeing this winter. I went up to the Brainard Lake Recreation area in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. First, I stopped at Red Rock Lake to catch the sunrise. I had been meaning to do this for a number of years but had never gotten around to it. I picked a good morning to come. The color was intense–unfortunately, so was the wind. It had to have been blowing 50 mph. It knocked over my tripod on a couple of occasions (luckily without my camera on it). The sunrise was a rosy red and purple to the east and then the rising sun lit up the mountains behind Red Rock Lake. I then hiked up to Lefthand Reservoir. The view was noice but the clouds were really rolling in by then. What a special morning.
