Lake Hartenstein

rainbow over Lake Hartenstein with Mt. Yale in background

August 16, 2010

Greg and I had just backpacked in to Lake Hartenstein, in the shadow of Mt. Yale (14,196) near Buena Vista.  A rainstorm hit as we were preparing supper at our camp (which is just below the end of the rainbow behind the trees).  Afterwards we walked around the lake and were blessed with this amazing double rainbow.  I've enhanced the contrast a bit to highlight the colors, but otherwise this is exactly as nature delivered!
