Here are some more Colorado snow photos since I know that many people here enjoy them.
Here is my journal entry from Saturday, March 6:
Austin and Kelsey Gilbert and I climbed Hahns Peak today. There was a snowstorm the day before, but today had pretty good weather with occasional mist and variable sunny, partly cloudy and cloudy skies.
We got a fairly late start up the mountain and work slow and steady while taking turns to break trail (two skiers were on the mountain as well so we had some tracks to follow) up to timberline. Because the peak was encased in mist much of the time preceding us summiting, there was some interesting hoarfrost on the trees. We made our way to the ice encrusted summit cabin before enjoying a late lunch while meeting the other two skiers on the mountain.
After lunch we headed back down the mountain while the skies got cloudier. It snowed very lightly, but for the most part, the weather was great and much warmer than average, though it was a bit windy and chilly on the summit. It was a great climb.
Here are the photos:
I hope you enjoyed them.

What kind of bird was that in the one picture?
It's amazing how a mountain goes from being encased in trees to being pretty bald past tree-line. You are truly on top of the world!
Beautiful!

I thought so, but wasn't sure.
