Grand Mesa National Forest

Friday, October 21, 2016.  Suzanne, the doggies and I rent a cabin on Ward Lake in the Grand Mesa National Forest in Colorado. Grand Mesa is the largest flat-topped mountain in the entire world. It has an area of about 500 square miles.
While driving to the cabin we take a short hike and found this view of Island Lake.
 Suzanne decides to rest in this hammock before we start our hike.

Suzanne and Dooley enjoy the view of Ward Lake.
We decide to hike all the way around the lake, a little over 2 miles on this trail.
On the hike we got good views of trout swimming around.
This trout was snatching a bug off of the surface of the lake.
The clear, calm water produced some very reflective pictures.

Not red but still a nice sunset.
Grand Mesa National Forest was very scenic. We will go back when we can spend more time.
