Gem Lake RMNP

Gem Lake is located north of Estes and is unique in the fact that it is not a spring fed lake like the others.  Snowmelt and rain water collect in a basin carved in the granite surrounding the lake.  The rock formations on this hike reminded us of Wyoming.









The rock with the hole is called Paul Bunyan's boot.
