Cannot figure out what caused all of these Aspens to bend over.

Loved this view of Crested Butte

Green Lake is what this trail is named, but I had no intention of hiking the 5+ miles to the lake just to see it. I was really just trying to find some new flowers to photograph. It turns out that the lake must be the highlight of this trail because the part that I actually saw was quite boring. This was the most uninteresting walk I have been on so far. I guess I'm not the "wander through the forest" kind of person. The most exciting thing that happened was scaring up a HUGE Elk with my bear bell that I wear faithfully while I walk.
