Dawn at Brainard Lake means an awfully early morning. Leaving the house at 5:00 am to be at the lake shortly after six is an adventure in routine. The temperature at 10,200ft. was around 38 degrees, it wasn't long before cool was gone and the warm sunshine enveloped the beautiful surroundings. The dawn light was magnificent, painting the lake and the east-facing granite slabs of Mt. Audubon with golden light. The moose, birds, and wildflowers are outstanding. The cows, calves, and bulls standing chest high in vegetation eating mostly willow all of them working their way though the feast. It wasn't long before the group crossed the lake which was amazing to watch the power and swiftness of these magnificent animals.
