Lathrop State Park in Colorado is notable for several reasons. First, it was the first state park in Colorado. Second, it is made up of not one, but two lakes! Martin Lake is for power boats and water skiers, while Horseshoe Lake is for more peaceful ventures like canoeing and kayaking. No matter which lake you choose there are stunning views of Spanish Peaks. The drone’s eye view shows how close these lakes are separated by a narrow strip of land combining for a very unique state park in Colorado! Have you ever been there?
I recently spent a lot of time in view of the Spanish Peaks. Names simply West and East Spanish Peak, you can find them in Huerfano County, Colorado. These photos were made in March, but there is still plenty of snow covering the mountains. The approximately 13,000 feet tall peaks were a constant as I spent four days photographing rural land real estate all over the area. They would certainly be an amazing view framed in a living room window!
