Where am I?: High ground and a turquoise gem

Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Name the park and the lake.

To reach this view of a mountain lake, it's about a 4-mile hike from one of the classic, woodsy old national park hotels of the American West.

The vista point is about 6,000 feet above sea level, and if you're climbing in summer, you'll cut through mini-meadows of bear grass and across loose rocks of various hues. The Continental Divide isn't far away.

So what lake and what park are these?
