Description

An old tree trunk soaks up the water and the sunshine in front of Hallett Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is a beautiful day at the Lake of the Bear and the autumn colors are again at their peak.

Hallett Peak is a mountain summit in the northern Front Range of the Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. On the Continental Divide, the peak is flanked by Flattop Mountain to the north and Otis Peak to the south. Reaching 12,713 feet above sea level, the mountain peak lies just to the west of Emerald Lake, Dream Lake, and Nymph Lake. The Northcutt-Carter Route to Hallett Peak is recognized in the historic climbing text Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. Non-technical climbers may reach the summit of Hallett Peak by hiking up the Flattop Mountain Trail to its highpoint, then walking south along the ridgeline and ascending the peak over talus piles.

Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
