More Snow (Shoeing)

The snow is melting, as a matter of fact, it's all gone around our cabins and disappearing swiftly in the surrounding areas.

However, the northeastern end is still covered and cold. We decided to drive to the end of the park to find one more snowshoe adventure. God knows our record breaking one mile in 1 1/2 hours is epic but we had to try once more.






I'm ahead of Bob so looking down the hill at him. This trail had a good solid snow pack to traverse.










Does anyone else see Papa Smurf and his hat on this tree stump?












It pays to leave the main path occasionally. Someone set up the perfect picture of a bull elk and antlers so we took advantage of it.








I know this looks like another blob of snow on a snag (tree trunk) but it is covering a large nest. More than likely belonging to a eagles, ravens or owls. I'm going with it's unoccupied currently since they are all coming back in to the area now.










Oh no, Bob is heading to the end of the world...








 He stopped to look back and wave before going over the edge...

okay maybe not. We had a nice down hill trek back to the truck. It was another long on time, short on mileage 'hike' but in lovely surroundings, who cares??






We were close to Cooke City so decided to stop for a cup of hot chocolate. You can easily see why this is the end of the line for car traffic until the snow melts off, round about April-May I believe.








This just doesn't look inviting to us but the folks that stay year round love it.












Yeah, doesn't this look like fun?













The snow drifts are crazy. But the snow mobiles are plentiful for getting around and enjoying the landscape. We were perfectly happy to drive back to our drying-out, snowless cabins.
