Small mountain lake framed by pine and aspen slopes with clear reflections of the Tenmile Range — excellent for mirror reflections, fall color, and moody mountain light. Best at sunrise and sunset for warm side light; autumn brings peak color. High altitude means rapid weather changes; bring layers. Parking available near Tom Bennhoff Lake Trail; weekends can be busy in summer and leaf-peep season. No special permits for casual shooting.
