Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL! Doesn't it just make you happy? We are lucky girls to live in this place where it really does snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your CHRISTmas, Deb!
i tried to comment earlier but i'm not sure it took....anyway, just LOVELY pictures. so beautiful. i'm glad you found snow! i'm wondering how you got around--skis? snowshoes? or was there a packed trail? thanks for sharing these. they're spectacular.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, all these pictures were taken not far from the roads. I did hike out a bit at one trailhead to get better views but other visitors had already left trails we could follow. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on trails in the national park and we didn't want to leave Tonka for long, stuck in the car. Next year: snowshoes of our own!
ReplyDeletei highly recommend snowshoes.
ReplyDeleteand i hear you guys are finally supposed to get a ton of snow. you must be happy!
