baldy, craig, grand lake, winter

Grand Lake is a magical place in the winter. This view from the bridge on the west end of town is one of my favorite as Mount Craig, known by locals as Mt. Baldy, adds a great deal of drama to this beautiful scene Photo © by Erik Stensland.

It was a beautiful autumn day just outside of Grand Lake Colorado. The trees were changing colors over Shadow Mountain Lake and Mount Craig, often referred to as "Baldy" stood proudly watching on. Photo © by Erik Stensland.

grand lake, fog

I sat drinking coffee near the water's edge in Grand Lake as I prepared for a big day hike up the East Inlet trail to catch sunrise. This was one of the first days this summer that I could sit and enjoy as sunrise on the west side usually offers little. I couldn't keep the camera out of my hands though as the fog began to lift from Grand Lake. Photo © by Erik Stensland.
