After hiking the trail to Alberta Falls, we continued on to Loch Vale and from there went on to Lake of Glass. This required hiking/scrambling up steep ledges of a 20 foot water fall to reach this scene. The air was so thin that I had to stop to take breathers after climbing up several boulders at a time.

After you entered Rocky Mountain National Park, there was a narrow pothole filled gravel road that traveled up the mountain at a steep incline named Old Fall River Road. In this view, we have traveled higher than the tree line and have a view of the alpine tundra in front of the mountains.
