Battle of the Lost Lakes, Crested Butte, Colorado

A panorama of Lost Lake B

In my 32 years of hiking, camping and searching the backcountry of Colorado, I must have encountered at least a dozen Lost Lakes, enough so that they often get confabulated in my mind into one solitary, gorgeous lake! So color me un-shocked when on a recent outing to Crested Butte we ended up hiking to two Lost Lakes on consecutive days. So for posterity’s sake and to have a little fun, I bring you the Battle of the Lost Lakes. Here’s a chance to see a couple of these beauties in all their unique glory and a chance for you, for the first time, to vote on which one you think is more beautiful.

One of my favorite pictures are ones of the grasses in the water swirling with the currents

So which lake is your favorite and which one are we standing in front off?

So while we are gearing up for Election Day, let’s vote! Though I could set up a widget to record votes, it’s probably easier to just take your vote as a feedback in the comments below. Enjoy!
