Ever see a place from afar, and it sparks a strong desire to get to that place in the future?
1. Cottonwood Lake, Sangres, Colorado (as seen from near the summit of Broken Hand Peak.)
I've passed by here a couple times, but never dropped to the lake. It looks like a lovely place to camp, right under Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle. I imagine I'll probably camp there at some point.
2. Lake Reveille, Indian Creek basin, North Cascades (as seen from the summit ridge of Red Face Peak).
So inviting, but would be really, really hard to get to. It would be a super long bushwhack up Indian Creek from the Chilliwack River (after hiking 15 or so miles to *get to* Indian Creek). Or a really challenging-looking down climb from Middle Lakes or from the connecting ridge between Indian Mountain and Red Face Peak. (And these places are all 20 miles from the nearest road.) I doubt I'll ever put in the effort to get there, but it's purdy!
