RMNP - Alluvial Fan Picnic And Browns On The Fall River 12Sep18

Kala & I took an easy day and headed up to the Alluvial Fan section of the Fall River. Here, in 1982, the earthen Lawn Lk dam failed and tons of rock and sediment careened down the Roaring River and "dammed" the Fall River making instant ponds and lakes.Weird attraction as NPs go and no one was there on our arrival. We'd decided to fish the Fall River in this area and we did spook many wary brookies. I turned over a number of fish but landed just one nice brown. We had a great picnic and returned to the Moraine Pk to see a cool hawk circling for prey.
