SPRAGUE LAKE – RMNP – #rockymountains

Sprague Lake is a scenic lake in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), located on the south side of Glacier Creek, about two miles south of the Hollowell turnoff.  The .9 mile walk around the lake features boardwalks and bridges with views of Flattop Mountain and Hallet Peak.  The area is named after Abner Sprague, who started a homestead there in 1874.  The area became part of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915.

Sprague Lake is a special location in Colorado’s RMNP for my wife and I.  We were married there November 18th 2013.  Marry me in Colorado made the arrangements very easy.  The setting could not have been more perfect.  The weather was surprisingly nice for November.

The following photos are from our visit in September of 2016.  Sprague Lake Loop is a lovely trail to hike around this picturesque location.  The view of the mountains is truly breathtaking.
