Hike More and Worry Less - a photo on Flickriver

Little Molas Lake, Million Dollar Highway, Colorado

“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” – John Muir

Tucked away two miles northwest of larger "Big" Molas Lake and a mile off Highway 550 is this charming beauty in the San Juan Mountains. It sits at an elevation of 11,000 feet (3350m) and receives much less attention than the larger lake. Which is exactly how I like to take in all nature...with no crowds.
