I didn&#8217;t want to deal with Bear Lake road so I decided Ypsilon Lake was a good choice. I wasn&#8217;t sure how far I wanted to go &#8211; perhaps I&#8217;d head up to Chiquita Lake or scout the route to Spectacle Lakes.<\/p>\n<p>There was no snow on the trail until about Chipmunk Lake. From there on, there wasn&#8217;t a lot of snow but what was there was rotten. Many times I stepped where it looked like it had supported many hikers before me only to posthole to mid-thigh. Not a big deal, but it made for a few surprises. The weather was pretty good, mostly sunny and not too cool or too warm but the wind was fairly annoying. Once to Ypsilon I sat for a while to do a time lapse. After that I headed to the inlet. Quite a bit more snow there so I decided not to go any further. Back at Chipmunk I did another time lapse.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I try one of these I learn a little bit more. My last few hikes I&#8217;ve carried a small tripod. It gives a bit more flexibility on camera placement and keeps the camera from moving. As long as I make sure to anchor the tripod properly in the wind. The camera is automatic everything so I&#8217;m a bit stuck. I&#8217;ve noticed issues with the exposure before, but nothing too extreme. This time there are definitely some overexposed frames. I&#8217;m wondering it will work better if the camera is in the shade. In any event, I really don&#8217;t want to manually edit the exposure on dozens of pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the end result:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QUlkD12jLGA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I started this blog I had been posting trip reports to a forum for lovers of Rocky Mountain National Park.
