Near Silverton, in San Juan National Forest, San Juan Mountains, Colorado, USA: Upper Ice Lake glows with stunningly bright turquoise and green-blue colors, unique in my experience. I hiked Ice Lakes Basin as a memorable loop (8.9 miles with 3120 feet gain) from USFS South Mineral Campground to Lower and Upper Ice Lakes, then up to Fuller Lake, and back via Island Lake (halfway to which I captured this image). Or, to Upper Ice Lake alone is 7.4 miles round trip with 2400 ft gain.
