LOST LAKES
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF LOST LAKES
Lost Lakes are made up of 3 small lakes that rest just north of the East Beckwith Mountain. The location sits in a tranquil Aspen forest just off of the Keebler Pass and is a photographers & outdoor enthusiasts dream.
You do not have to stay at the campground to photograph or hike the area, but once you get here you will wish you were staying for a few days.

I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 1.5 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The hike to the location is a simple 300 yd. walk around the from the campground.
This is mainly a straight forward shot - with different views based on where you stand around the lake. On a perfectly still morning the reflection of the lake provides many great opportunities. I would suggest scouting out the different locations around the lake the day before to determine your best shots – as sunrise ...
For most shots, you need a wide-angle lens (16-24mm). The shot above was done as a 3-horizontal pane stitch with a 24mm lens.
