The highlight of our trip to the Rockies was undoubtedly our day hike to Mills Lake. Mills Lake is a high altitude lake ( at about 10,000 ft) that sits at the foot of an immense glacier gorge. The lake is beautiful and the views from here are nothing but spectacular. In spite of the fact that the hike up to Mills lake is quite easy (6 miles round trip with less than a thousand ft elevation gain), we were glad to see that it wasn't as crowded as we had expected.
It is very difficult for me to pick pictures for this post because I loved them all! Here are some of my favorite ones:
