LONE EAGLE PEAK
Colorado, USA
THE STORY. . . I know what you’re thinking: this image cannot possibly be real. Could such a place actually exist? When we were kids, we used to draw super pointy mountains with crayons. But now that we’re all grown up, we know that mountains don’t really look like this in real life. . . Or do they? Well, your inner kid will be happy to learn that those pointy crayon mountains were right on the money baby! Lone Eagle Peak is living proof! This stoic tower of rock looms above the Indian Peaks Wilderness like a petrified wizard hat. The perfect reflection is brought to you courtesy of the aptly-named Mirror Lake. So, the next time one of your kiddos brings home a nice drawing for the refrigerator door you can step back and say, “Yea, looks good. We’ll go there someday.”
