Lake City Evenings

I spend most of my evenings in Lake City on the river chasing big fish, but if I'm not on the river, I try to get out as the sun sets over the mountains.

Cinnamon Pass in the Snow

After trying to hike Handies Peak in the snow, Becca and I tried to jeep over Cinnamon Pass to Silverton.  There was snow on the trail that made conditions slippery, but we made it to the top.  Unfortunately, we couldn't make it all the way to Silverton because other travelers reported that the other side of the pass was rather treacherous, but the beautiful views made the drive worth it.

First Snow of the Season

After the Lake City Wine Festival, we got our first substantial snow of the season.  The mountains take on a new beauty when they are draped in white.
