Now that summer is finally here, Mari and I hiked the Chief Joseph cross-country trails we skied last winter. When we were there in January, we knew, at least conceptually, there were six feet of snow on the ground, but that didn't really mean anything until we saw it without all that snow.
These trees seemed much shorter when the bottom six feet were invisible.
The distant peaks show up much better with snow caps on them.

It was a snowy winter.
Clear parking.
Just pull up to the wall of snow.
I love that you show both seasons. Have you biked the Hiawatha? If you haven't, it's fun. Remember. just like skiing. top to bottom.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jotsalot! It certainly is a land of contrasts. We haven't biked the Hiawatha, but it looks pretty cool.
