Said to be the most colorful lake on the AlCan Highway. Must agree, it was a brilliant teal green, especially when the sun broke thru the clouds.

I liked the dual reflections, skies and land.

"The jade green color of the lake is attributed to the presence of copper oxide leached from the bedrock underneath. Its name is derived from the Kaska language in which "muncho" translates as "big water."

Some have suggested it was named by camping hippies.....who got hungry......

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start!

Looking out over the main lava flow on the northeast point (one of two points) at Iona's Beach Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) on Lake Superior, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.

Once upon a time, this place was once the site of a charming mom & pop resort called Twin Points Resort. Iona Lind, her husband John and their children ran the resort for over 50 years. Iona kept on for a short time after her husband passed away in the 1980's.

When Iona died, she donated the land and it ended up in the hands of Minnesota's DNR.

Iona's Beach SNA is about halfway between Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse State Parks on Minnesota's legendary, historic Highway 61.

A carefree Coloradan rests along the South Platte River in Denver. While I'm sure he was breathing, I'm less certain what he'd been inhaling :) He was seen in the city's Highland District :)

I found the abandoned stones really interesting but I couldn’t help but think of The Flintstones.
