Description
From left to right you are looking at Otis Peak (12,486 feet), Andrews Glacier, Hallett Peak (12,713 feet) and Tyndall Glacier as seen from the western edge of Estes Park, in Colorful Colorado.
Named after John Tyndall, the first mountaineer to ascend the Weisshorn in Swiss Alps, Tyndall Glacier is a small glacier in a bowl just north of Hallett Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Andrews Glacier is located just below Otis Peak. This glacier ends at Andrews Tarn, a beautiful mountain lake. This alpine glacier is in a cirque below Otis Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. The glacier extends from Andrews Pass at nearly 12,000 to 11,700 feet with some perennial snow extending to Andrews Tarn, a small proglacial lake located below the glacier.
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. Hallett lies just to the west of Emerald Lake, Dream Lake, and Nymph Lake in the national park. 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 high point, then walking south along the ridge line and ascending the peak over talus piles. (Or, so they tell me…)
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the Fine Art America watermark.
