Looking out from this spot, you can't help but feel completely at peace. The weather is changing fast, and you can feel a cool breeze starting to pick up across the meadow. Directly behind the lake, Mt. Standish towers over the landscape, its massive slopes half-shadowed by a giant passing cloud. The sky above is a brilliant mix of deep blue patches and exploding white clouds that look like they are bubbling up right over the peaks.
Down along the shoreline, the bright summer greens of the valley are just starting to blend with hints of autumn red and gold in the grass at your feet. It's one of those rare, perfect alpine moments where you just want to freeze time, snap the photo, and stare at the mountains for hours.
