Daydreaming in Echo Park

Appropriately named Echo Park,  within Dinosaur National Monument, this little piece of solitude located in the northwest corner of Colorado offers the visitor not only the opportunity to see archaeologists toiling away, revealing fossils, but also peace.  Once considered one of the quietest places on earth, Echo Park is a daydreamers' utopia.  This photograph was taken on a late spring day, just after sunrise, when nothing stirred but a cooling breeze whispering through the dried summer grass and billowed clouds.
