Twin Lakes, Colorado

During the early to mid 1970's Barbara's Father and Mother came to Colorado to fish on their vacations in the summer. One of thier favorite places to go was Twin Lakes which is south of Leadville and north of Buena Vista, CO. These lakes are Glacial lakes and if I remember correctly are the only ones in Colorado.

On several occasions we came out from Lakewood, CO where we were living and spent a weekend fishing with them. The area has changed in that there are more houses and cabins up in the overlooking hills than there were those 30 plus years ago, but the beauty is still there.

Above is a picture of a Yurt that some adventureous soul placed near the lake. A Yurt is known in many parts of the world as a wonderful tent for the nomadic people.

You can get a sense of the beauty of the setting in the picture of the lake with the mountains in the background. The observant ones will see the cut made by the glacier in the mountain.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the cabins we stayed at were still there and in use!
