"You’ll be gasping for air upon arriving at this lake in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, and not only because of its glassy beauty. Getting to this one—the highest named lake in the United States—requires crossing streams, hiking through exposed tundra, and scrambling across boulder fields. After quieting your breath, listen for the sounds of calving ice near the frozen shelf on the lake’s far end."
