Description I remember that morning vividly.

We drove from Boulder to Estes Park early in the morning. The drive was lengthy and filled with uphill curves. As soon as we cleared the biggest hill, we began descending to see one of the most epic mountain ranges. It was so cool! We entered Rocky Mountain National Park and our first stop was Sprague Lake. This is a shot I took with my trusty 14-24mm f/2.8 wide angle lens. I hope you like it.

Sprague Lake at sunrise is stunning! I hope you got to enjoy some good sunrises and sunsets in RMNP. This is beautiful too!

Thank you! I did not unfortunately, because I had to drive from Boulder, but next time I go I will stay in Estes Park for quick access.

If you can, try to camp in Glacier Basin. That's the easiest way to see a Sprague Lake sunrise. It's super busy this time of year though.

I'd like to go back during the summer season for sure. I don't mind crowds, because I usually show up at dawn when there are few people there.

I meant that the campground fills up this time of year, so you may not be able to get a spot.

Oh, I see now. I would probably just reserve a lodge/hotel locally instead.

Okay. There are definitely good places to stay in Estes Park. It would just be an early drive.

True that! I am already excited about my next vacation. I'm not through with Colorado yet! Gotta go back.
