Fern Creek Crossing

Odessa Lake Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Being early June, snow is present, but not the deepest snow on this early June hike. Ascending to Fern Lake, we were post-holing to the top of our thighs in snow on a fairly steep north-facing uphill for some distance. Here I am on the trail to the left of Fern Creek and, in the distance, my son is standing on the bridge over the Creek. Beyond the bridge, Fern Creek is invisibly flowing under a snow bridge reaching almost to the outlet of Odessa Lake with the continuing trail on its right. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.
