Twin Lakes

This picture was taken on the trek up Beartooth Highway to Beartooth Pass near the Montana Wyoming border. This highway, mostly situated in Wyoming, connects Red Lodge, Montana with Cooke City, Montana.  The circular snow sheet to the left and the snow just to its upper right are what is known as the Twin Lakes.  If one enlarges the photo one can see that the upper right Lake is starting to thaw a bit.  The last time I saw these Lakes they were completely thawed and were a very deep blue in color.  This is just another of the awesome sites of this tour of the USA.
