The second picture, which was taken not long after the first one, however, the colors in the sky and also the reflection had totally changed.

I arrived at Watson Lake to see a beautiful pink sunset. After the sun set, the rocks seemed to start to glow, giving another great view. I returned next morning for a beautiful sunrise and waited around for golden morning hour. So I ended up with 4 pictures which I will post here over the next few days, and wonder which one gets your preference.

After the colorful morning sky, the sun rose and the boulders turned golden in the early light.

The next morning I returned to the same spot. It was pitch dark when I arrived at the entrance, only to find the gate was still locked. I started to panic, but within 5 minutes a ranger appeared, to open the gate, mumbling "I didn't realize people were so anxious to get into the park". The car was parked and I was really glad I brought a headlamp to find my way again over those boulders. I arrived at the same spot and was rewarded with a warm and colorful Sunrise.
