Snow on Trees
Snow on Woodpile
We got a snowy surprise upon our arrival at the mountain cabin. There was a light snow of about 4 inches during the night that left most everything covered in the white stuff. Apparently I didn't wait long enough for the snow to melt. There was an easy solution to this problem.
A warm fireplace!

The snow melted pretty fast and the snow melt could be seen running off the mountains in numerous places. This left most of the streams running pretty fast.

The Rio Pueblo was running quite swiftly due to the run-off and was quite impressive when compared with it's usual water flow.

This was a great start to a high country adventure!
Staying above the snow line!

That is beautiful - sounds like a place to sit and do some contemplatin', even if its just your navel, lol. Upper 50's - groan, high 90's here all this week and the next 4 - 5 months shouldn't change as well. Enjoy it while you got it.

It was over way too soon. I need to spend more time out of doors and less time inside.
Thanks anon!
