They say a picture is worth a thousand words.....well, not really. your pictures are easily worth a million words. Not even sure what to say....easily the best I've ever seen of RMNP. Outstanding comes to mind....Well done, Dave!!

[@Davespates]

Thank you so much for the kind words Stan! 🙏

Wow. Just incredible! Fantastic photography and the music and sounds that were added were just perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this and all your videos!

[@Davespates]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Incredible! Such beautiful photography. You and Emily take us places we can only dream of. I love having a Lake as our destination when planning a hike or BP trip. You inspired me to count our lakes, 30 in just over a year in RMNP. Shelf Lake is still my favorite so far.

[@Davespates]

Same as when planning destinations, I love mountains, but like lakes a tad more. Shelf, that was beautiful but we did it on a dark rainy day. Will need to revisit one day 👍

Always a fan of your videos, but I REALLY enjoyed this one. Living only about an hour and a half from RMNP, sometimes I take it for granted but your video reminds me of its beauty. I have two nights at Thunder lake in mid September and can't wait now! Nicely done!

[@Davespates]

Thanks Jason! We just did a single night at Thunder and reeeealy wish we had two. There’s so much to explore in that beautiful section of the wild basin!

[@laurenbouchie2394]

Just beautiful, I was wondering last week if you were going to continue your hikes to the different lakes.

[@Davespates]

Yep, just got put on the back burner but will be back at it full force next year hopefully

[@davelancaster2066]

I really appreciate the amount of work that went into this video! Thanks!

[@Davespates]

Thank you Dave 😀

[@FollowThomas]

It looks and feels so peaceful there. It reminds me little bit my Glacier NP visit last month. 👍

[@Davespates]

GNP is the next National park out of state we plan on visiting, heard so many great things about it

[@drone_boss]

Hiting that many is epic! My parents live in Estes and I had no idea there were that many.

[@Davespates]

The park website says there’s 147. I’ve got a ways to go to hit up all of them.

[@SheepdogPreparedness]

Stunning footage! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. You gave me some more ideas on places I want to visit. I will be in RMNP in just two weeks, and I'm so stoked!

[@Davespates]

Thanks Sheepdog! Hope you have a great visit in this amazing National park let me know if you have any questions about these lakes!

[@Davespates]

[@usselpasoable]

Dave do any of these lakes have fish? I'm guessing not.

[@Davespates]

Most of them do. Saw a bunch of big ones at Loomis Lake 👍

[@ruggedland]

Man I only went to about 20 of these lakes lol. Still got a long way to go. Nice work Dave

[@Davespates]

Thanks Jun! I’ve got several more to go- the lakes below Mt Ida are gonna be tough

[@ruggedland]

@@Davespates I was at Ida yesterday. Looks like there is a somewhat grassy ramp midway along the rim between Ida and Jagor Point one can go down to Azure/Inkwell and other lakes down there

[@Mark-ro3gx]

Great video! Good work

[@allenfritschel1859]
