We had a 3:30 AM start for our hike to try to beat the storms on our attempt to visit as many of the Gorge Lakes as possible. We were already above treeline as the first light hit the Never Summers to the west of us.
After hiking up to over 12,000 feet, we descended down to the gorge that contains these beautiful, but rarely visited lakes, losing about 2000 feet to get down there.
Arrowhead Lake is the largest of the lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park. It dominates the gorge and can be seen from Trail Ridge Road from the Forest Canyon overlook. There are still more lakes to visit down there... one day we'll get to the rest.
