Turquoise Green Gem Lake 💧🏔️

This turquoise‑green alpine lake sits beneath a backdrop of trees 🌲, plants 🌿, and scattered boulders 🪨, while a patch of year‑round snow clings to the mountain slope in the corner ❄️⛰️. Even at nearly 12,000 feet, Gem Lake supports vibrant greenery and forested slopes at the end of Little Lakes Valley.
