This is Shrine Pass in the middle of winter.
I got this photo after about 2 hours of cross-country skiing (all uphill
to this point). Shrine Pass is just east of Vail and easily accessed from
a parking lot at Vail Pass.

Pole Creek feeds the headwaters of the Rio Grande
in southwest Colorado (Creede is the nearest town). Where this photo was taken,
we had been hiking for several hours with backpacks on a gently ascending
trail in the Rio Grande National Forest.

Drive for about 2 hours on gravel and dirt roads to reach the Flat Tops
Wilderness near Steamboat Springs. We had backpacked up above Trappers Lake
and then took an easy dayhike to this spot overlooking
Island and Upper Island Lake (the full size image
was knit together from 3 separate photographs).

A moderate day-hike on the Long Lake trail in the Indian Peaks Wilderness
will take you to several lakes and views like this one of
Navajo
Peak.
