June 18, 2025, 6:00 am – I had arrived at Sprague Lake before sunrise to shoot some panoramas. There wasn’t a breath of a breeze this particular morning. I shot a couple previous to this one but I liked this one because the sun was illuminating the pine trees that are on the western side of the lake. 12,720-foot Hallett Peak is the prominent mountain in the center of the photo.

Sprague Lake is a popular destination within Rocky Mountain National Park because over the past 10 years the moose population on eastern side of the park has grown significantly. Moose love this lake because it is only about 3 feet deep and the lake bottom has lots of mosses and water plants that the moose love to eat. The morning I was there 3 moose crossed the lake while I was shooting my photos.
