Golden Hour in the Rocky Mountains
From this vantage on the Emerald Lake Trail, the Front Range summits of Long's Peak and Half Mountain appear orange in the late evening sun. While the forest below begins to quickly transition toward blue hour.
Emerald Lake is a magnificent location in Rocky Mountain National Park with a well-maintained trail from the Bear Lake Trailhead, that passes both Nymph Lake and Dream Lake and meanders along the Tyndall Creek, as seen here.
Even on the first of June (when this image was taken), daytime high temperatures were in the mi-50s at these elevations (around 9900'), which was comfortable for the hike, but became chilly as the sun lowered and darkness set in.
