Lake Nanita is located 10.8 miles from North Inlet Trailhead on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. It lies at the head of an isolated valley framed by Ptarmigan Mountain, which rises 12,324 feet, and Andrews Peak, which sits at 12,565 feet.

I hiked up to Lake Nokoni while backpacking on September 3, 2021. This is my photo essay.
