Longs Peak from the Forest Canyon Overlook, Rocky Mountain National Park

My original plan was to shoot a panorama of the divide from Sprague Lake. Plans changed once I reached Bear Lake Road only to find the entire valley socked in with fog and drizzle. My gut told me that these clouds were low hanging, and if I could just get high enough I might pop out of them. Since Trail Ridge Road just opened this week, I figured it was worth a shot. Sure enough, the extra drive to the Forest Canyon Overlook paid off when the sun rose.

If you find yourself in Rocky Mountain National Park on a foggy day, try going higher!
