The mountains in this park were ground into sharp vertical shapes by glaciers. Pictures can't begin to capture it. Here's a few anyway. By the way, the morning rain and low clouds gave way to sun at 5:30pm. But it's light 'til 9:30, so "OK".
The rushing water is from the rain. The Rangers say the spring melt and run-off hasn't even happened yet. In fact, trees haven't begun to bud yet in most places.
We passed signs that said, "Don't stop--avalanche zone". We laughed until we passed an area where one had recently gone over the road--look at the smashed timber----gulp!
Tomorrow is supposed to be good weather, so we're packing the bear spray, SPF50, and going hiking.
So the long new England winter of 2010-11 wasn't long enough so so had to extend it? Did you have to change your route with the closed highway?
ReplyDeleteBoo. Those pictures are too cold looking to look at too closely.
ReplyDeleteGoing outside in the sun, now, to shake it off. :-)
