The harvest full moon becomes visible through storm clouds as they move swiftly across the sky giving an incredible and majestic moment on this September morning at 4 am

ENJOYING THE MORNING VIEWS FULL CORN MOON (691-3806)It was a cool August summer morning when I arrived at the trailhead to Bierstadt Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I started up the steep trail at 5: 15 am to catch the sunrise at the lake and the Continental Divide. It would take me just under an hour to reach the lake. There are numerous switchbacks leading up the mountain through some stands of aspen trees. After about 20 minutes, I no longer needed my headlamp to guide my way up the mountain.
