Yates Lookout
(Edited)
Here we are at the or near the top of Yates Mountain. Great views of Barrier Lake below, and Mount Baldy. Officially this is part of the “Prairie view” hiking trail experience. Looking up from down below, I didn't have the feeling that this hike would be all that spectacular, but the views from the top were really quite sweet actually. Didn’t even take more than about 2 hours to get up here, so I would rate this one at about an 8/10, based on effort spent vs reward received. My kinda hike.

The blue sky, the blue mountains and the blue waters with green pastures as border....oh lovely, gives a pleasant look. This just is an excellent view overall. Especially the third one as you told has no words, to describe its beauty. I really wonder watching the colour of water, it is sooooo beautiful . An apt place for trekking. Sure it will be enjoyable I believe.
Enjoyable it was. I am sure to return someday to do it all over again! Thanks.
👍
You added too much white when painting the lake
These were super hard to edit. There was a bit of smoke in the air giving everything a creamy sort of feel. You’re right though.
It's why I don't bother doing anything except cropping and compressing my photos- just embrace the smoke. Today we are getting a good dumping, hopefully this summer isn't as dry or fiery as the last one.
Let's hope!
I like the colored ones
Thanks.
The blue sky is really something of a beauty to really admire of. The gift of nature
Nature is the gift that keeps on giving, I like to say.
I can't even find a word to express what i feel watching this, is absolutely Amazing .
Thanks for visiting @clarissaaaa.
Some lovely views mate
Thanks
Absolutely fascinating🤩, I was amazed to see these images that capture the serenity and grandeur of nature at its finest. It's as if each photograph tells its own story, from the exhilarating climb to the top of Yates Mountain to the quiet contemplation of the vastness of Barrier Lake and the imposing Mount Baldy.🙌🙌
It's truly inspiring to see how a seemingly ordinary hike transforms into an extraordinary experience once you reach the top and find yourself surrounded by such natural beauty🤩. Your ability to capture those moments and share them with us is truly admirable.👌
Additionally, the choice to present these stunning views in black and white adds a unique artistic dimension to the images. The absence of colors allows us to focus on composition and details, giving each photograph a timeless and evocative atmosphere. I really loved it 👌👌
It is comforting to know that there are places as spectacular as this, where the effort invested in the hike is amply rewarded by the natural beauty that surrounds you. Without a doubt, this hiking route deserves to be explored by any lover of nature and impressive landscapes.🙌
Thank you for sharing this enriching experience with all of us. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the following photographs. Excellent work.👍.
Well friend, have a great day. Best regards 🤝
Glad you liked this post. It seems you are a fellow hiking enthusiast or at the very least, an adventurer. Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend!
That is one hell of a view! Breathtaking in that first photo! Now I really can't wait to get back up in the pines. I miss the smell and the sound of the wind! That water reflects those clouds so perfectly, great shots. I still have to go with the color, that water is just too pretty not too!
Hiking is all about the views isn’t it? And for me, capturing those moments with my camera is the perfect combination. Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome shot's my friend, what a view, my kind of hike too with this scenery...
The views make the hike don’t they! Thanks for stopping by.
The color options are much more interesting.
More colourful for sure. Thanks.
It is an excellent and enviable hike @daveks at or near the top of Yates Mountain, where you have magnificent views of Barrier Lake and Mt. Baldy, a beautiful landscape. Congratulations, successes. Have you eaten shredded chicken salad with veggies, it's great for hiking, I'm posting it today my friend. Regards.
Sounds like a good hiking snack!!
Lovely view and beautiful place @daveks friend! Awesome shots like always 🔝💪🏻

What a spectacular view. I would walk more than two hours just to appreciate it 🙌.
As I did. Thanks for looking.
Awesome country you have. The only thing bad about it is Trudeau...
100% correct on that!
The turquoise has spread from the water to the clouds above, this is beyond amazement. Beautiful photos.
Thanks as always @edith-4angelseu.
Your pictures is always amazing 😍
