This may be the most beautiful place I have ever been. Getting there required a 1.2 mile hike up the side of an icy mountain (an elevation gain of 1,000 feet) Well worth the effort! The lake is fed by a stream of water that spouts from a hole in the cliff, then forms a waterfall that pours into the crystal clear water below. Huge icicles at least 30 feet tall cling to rock ledges. They have a blue, glacier-like irridescent glow. The entire hike was amazing, from the Colorado River at the bottom of the hike to the gurgling sounds of an invisible creek covered by ice and snow above.
