Early morning on Nelson Lake. It got very cold overnight (maybe 12F). There was a huge cloud of steam rising off of the center of the lake, drawing air in from the surrounding area. It was a beautiful sight.
Looking up toward the ridge in front of Nelson Mountain.
Sun reaches the meadow by our campsite. Everything was covered in heavy frost.
In the winter, the surface of this lake freezes but the fish in the water survive in deep pools.
