Hallett Peak and Tyndall Glacier in Rocky Mountain National Park

Hallett Peak and Tyndall Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park

Hallett Peak is one of the summits along the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.  The peak summit is about 12,720 feet (3,880 meters) above sea level.  This is a view of Hallett Peak from Sprague Lake.

In a cirque to the north of Hallett Peak (and to the right of the peak in the photo above) is the Tyndall Glacier.  The small glacier is on the eastern side of the Continental Divide.  An ice and rock glacier, the Tyndall -- like most glaciers these days -- is in retreat.
