Fall River Cirque, 3/4 mile wide by 1/2 mile deep. The cirque was cut by the Fall River Glacier. The snowfields here are only 800 years old. We may lose them as Colorado returns to it’s normal semi-arid climate.

So beautiful, I so want to go up there but worried my little car wouldn’t make it or clear any dirt ruts.
Trail Ridge is paved all the way — it is Fall River Road that is dirt. You need to go. It is gorgeous right now.
You’ve inspired me!
P. S. I suspect dogs are not allowed?
