We quickly enter the Rocky Mountains; leaving the plateau of Santa Fe, which is already at 2000 meters. We hardly notice the higher altitude as we drive into Colorado. Here, there are several 14,000-foot peaks, which people often strive to climb. I’m happy enough to walk with my friend from the region, a former Colorado park ranger and river guide. He knows how to look, but more importantly, how to see. He takes me on a rough, gutted road in his 4X4 – hold on Marcel! A few kilometers later by foot brings us to a mountain lake.
And there, in its beauty, we find a brown trout.
