On an unseasonably hot Sunday morning, we hiked at Pella Crossing, near the town of Hygiene, once the home of a TB sanitarium. The "lakes" promised in our hiking guide proved to be smallish ponds (at least to our Great Lakes State eyes), but the view of Long's Peak, the only "fourteener"* in Rocky Mountain National Park, made up for the lack of scenery on the ground.

*"Fourteener" is a mountaineering term for peaks above 14,000 feet.
