Hello Mallory

2024 UPDATE - THE LAKE HAS BEEN DRAINED DUE TO DAM FAILURE, AS A BREAK WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC DOWNSTREAM.

2025 UPDATE - THE LAKE IS STILL DRAINED. CAN GET SOME SMALL REFLECTIONS AND ITS STILL BEAUTIFUL, BUT NO LIKE WHAT IS PICTURED.

A most iconic photo of the Red Mountains, a beautiful lake to catch a sunrise. Given the lake drainage, it is not in it's "famous" state.
