Above the horizon a near-full moon shines in a
cloudless sky, reflecting in Emerald Lake below.
The reddish hue of the Earth's shadow is visible near the horizon shortly
after sunset. Arrow-straight lodgepole pines silhouette the lake and horizon.
Many lakes dot the Elk Mountain Range straddling the Gunnison and White
River National Forests. The high alpine Emerald Lake is one of the many
lakes offering spectacular views.
