Indian Peaks Wilderness

The Indian Peaks Wilderness is adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park on the south side. It has scenery every bit as spectacular as RMNP, but you have to use your legs to see most of it. It is a very popular hiking and snowshoeing destination.

Hi Rian,

Correction for you. The flower you have labelled "Harebell" is actually a Gentian.

Great job! Love your lake shots with the reflections!!!

I've hiked up in this area quite a bit in all the seasons. Winter and summer I love the most up there.
The only thing that drives me nuts is I haven't been able to get up there when the water is calm. It's always windy when I'm up there which makes it hard to get good reflections in the water. I've tried sunset and sunrise but I just get wind :( But still I have some great shots.
