The Loch
It's still cold and wintry in Rocky Mountain National Park. This morning, I watched the sunrise at The Loch, a stunning mountain lake nestled just under three miles up the trail from the Glacier Gorge parking area on Bear Lake Road. The hike up was peaceful, but at the lake, the wind was howling. Despite the biting gusts, the mountains glowed as the sun crested the horizon, painting a breathtaking winter scene to take in.
