Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes is a place that has, well... has twin lakes. Located in central Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. There are several campgrounds and a whole lot of water activities you can do on the lake. We didn't do any of these. The reason why we visited this place was that it's located right next to the Colorado 82 highway which we wanted to drive on. Decided to make a quick stop and see some of this amazing snow-capped mountain scenery.

There are many vantage points around these lakes but the one we went to is called Dexter Point Campground. The weather was cold and very windy. The wind was so strong that it made my ears hurt so we didn't spend very long there. Just enough that I could get some photos captured.

After that, we drove up into these mountains. Highway 82 is one of the highest paved highways in North America that goes way higher than the tree line. That will be the subject of the next post of the Colorado series.

Iceland posts are coming in too but I haven't had the time to work with content yet. In addition to the erupting volcano photo post Im probably doing a mini-movie of our hike to the eruption site too. Have some 4k footage of the eruption and lava flows. Sadly Threespeak won't allow 4k videos so it will be 1080 still. It will take some time to put this video together and I need to write subtitles too because I speak Estonian there. Either way, some interesting things coming. Stay tuned!

Twin Lakes looks like a beautiful place. I love the snow-capped mountains in the background. The photos you took are amazing!

I'm glad you had a chance to stop and take some photos. It sounds like the weather was a bit cold and windy, but it was worth it for the views.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos from Colorado and Iceland. The erupting volcano sounds amazing! I'm sure your video will be great.

A great place to stop for sure.
More coming!
