Absolutely beautiful day with spectacular views! Wonderful snow formations on the fir branches! Could not have been a better day to have views of the presidential range!
A tad chilly (-8) to start but we were in the woods and we had a pre-broken trail! Thanks Rocket and others! Make sure you take the snowmobile trail 11 bypass instead of the standard 11. :-) We didn't get to see the partridge family bus until on the way out...via headlamp! |
