In Rocky Mountain National Park, we hiked up to The Loch via the trail along the creek that comes down from the lake. It is a beautiful ascent. The photos unfortunately had to be taken in HDR mode on my phone because of how the clouds created trouble with my camera.
A big waterfall almost directly over top of the water diversion tunnel (several hundred feet below) that brings water from the west side of the continental divide.
Big mountains in the distance.

The Loch appears!
A stormy lake with afternoon thunderstorms rolling in.
It was a great hike and I look forward to exploring the higher lakes in this basin someday.
