LOST: Paintings in the High Rockies

On Saturday around 3:25 pm, I was taking a break at the Turquoise Lake overlook in the High Rockies and left two small paintings resting on a rock while I adjusted my pack. When I looked back, they were gone. The works are framed in simple dark wood: one shows a jagged snow peak above a pine-fringed valley; the other glows with a sunset over a meadow. They’re irreplaceable to me—a gift from my grandfather—and I’m sick with worry each mile I hike without them. I’ve retraced the path and asked a few hikers, but no luck yet. If you’ve seen them, please let the site know so we can bring them home.
