Just coming into the Poudre Canyon from the Front Range on Hwy 14

Mountain Sheep near the Forest Service Cabins

Glad nobody was behind us on the drive up! No tail lights.

Back when we were still warm

We were the first ones up this morning. There was 4-6" of fresh snow on the trail

We took the Montgomery Pass Trail

Looking up towards the bowls at Montgomery Pass

Mmmm. Pizza for lunch!

The ridge was very windy, with lots of blowing snow

It was really hard to see with all the ice on my eyes!

After frostbite was discovered, I wrapped her up until she couldn't breathe! I figured she likes her skin more than air.

Poudre River with snow

The ridges all look much more dramatic with snow on them

Back in the garage. Glad we have studded tires! The roads were horrible, and now we're staying in until it melts :)

2 wrecks along the canyon. Both involved cars going over the edge. This one was about a 30 minute wait for us while they pulled the 2 cars back up from the river. For some reason, every person got out of their cars and kicked the snow out of their wheel wells. People are funny.

Pretty full log for 13 minutes of operating!
