Twin Lakes
Following up with another image from my recent trip over the 10,974-foot Beartooth Pass, this view of Twin Lakes is among the region’s most iconic. I took the shot while balancing on a small ledge 900 feet above the ground in front of me with wind gusts blasting at close to 50mph. If you’ve ever seen a bird hovering motionlessly above a ridgeline, riding the updraft created by the landscape below…now imagine that ridgeline at nearly 11,000 feet and tell me that doesn’t add a little spice to your day!
Hey, Cody, I’m doin’ fine….. but I have to say this photo looks just like the kind of place my dad loves to explore, and probably has. (at least what I would imagine it to look like, from his descriptions in letters and phone calls.) Lakes on top of mountain ranges. Breathtaking….and I bet that wind is pretty awesome too….hold on to your hat! Hope you have a great weekend Cody.
There’s a good bet your father’s been to this location, Diane. Just off of the Beartooth Highway, it’s a favorite stop near the summit that also boasts a cascading waterfall for most of the year. These mountains are filled with countless pristine lakes just waiting to be appreciated.
