Bluebird Lake/Ouzel Falls Hike (18 July, 2017)| Another super early morning outing from 18 July, 2017 is documented this time around. The hike, which was yet again filled with spectacular and humbling views of extraordinary scenery, was of the Bluebird Lake Trail in extreme southeast Rocky Mountain National Park, and covered more than 14 miles round trip while ascending somewhere close to 3500 total vertical feet. These totals are inflated to some extent, as I was compelled to double back about a mile for a couple of shots of a lily pad filled lake I had passed due to the threat of a storm. With the threat over, I was able to capture a couple of my favorite shots. The trail crossed several stunning water features including three lakes and four waterfalls while crossing the North Saint Vrain, Cody, and Ouzel Creeks. This created ample opportunity for me to practice my long exposures of streams to produce the “fuzzy, moving water” effect. Please take a peek through and I hope to hear some of your thoughts and feedback in the comments or guestbook section. Have fun, and please don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @ “the_mogul_skier”. Thanks! |
