It's gotten very hard to even get a spot there in the fall. At sunrise there are rows of photographers waiting their turn.

A beautiful set of photos! From your shots it's not hard to understand why the crowds. P&S cameras have their place, as there have been times when I found it impossible or impractical to carry around bulky equipment and a P&S has produced a wonderful image that would otherwise have been missed.

Lovely images, I like the variety of foreground objects.

A magical place, indeed. I drove up to the lake this past Oct. on a cloudy, rainy day just because I was in the area and can't resist. Found that they have placed rope fence barriers in an effort to keep people away from the shoreline and the best photo spots. Will be interesting to see how that works. Generally, you want to arrive before 7am, or even 6:30, in the autumn if you want a prime spot to catch the sunrise on the tips of the peaks. The most pleasing time for me is around 10am when the foreground slopes start getting the sunshine. I've thoroughly captured both, but will continue to go back for more.
The visit last fall in the rain was definitely worth it. Almost no other people there, and two nice bucks were standing in a beautiful grove of aspens right next to the road and posed for me.

You're tantalizing us with your vivid description. Any chance of seeing those photographs?

Very nice images. It's hard to say whether a view of the left peak would beat the view of the cloud. It looks like the water level is 4-6 feet higher in the spring. The lake would look nicer, but you'd lose most of your interesting foregrounds.
