Whenever I start to feel guilty about me...Hi John,<br /><br />Whenever I start to feel guilty about messing up the pristine snowscape all I have to do is look at the "rearranging of the snow" done by a group of snowmobilers! Makes our snowshoe tracks look like artistry!<br />But still, it's nice to know that, come spring, all traces of us trekking into the wilds will be erased by the melting snow.<br /><br />Thanks for adding your thoughts to this post, John. Get out there and enjoy the last of winter!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-85675983488169327272013-03-15T18:18:23.425-07:002013-03-15T18:18:23.425-07:00Thanks for the travel tip (you can clearly tell I&...Thanks for the travel tip (you can clearly tell I'm going to be visiting in warmer weather, LA woman that I am!). ;-)Vickie Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935525489196514927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-17001379864699564782013-03-15T06:53:11.051-07:002013-03-15T06:53:11.051-07:00Hi Rita,
Indeed your snowshoe adventure had "...Hi Rita,<br /><br />Indeed your snowshoe adventure had "a movie-quality ending"! Not only did you have a magnificent alpenglow, but you also had the added "bonus feature" of a full moon! What an absolutely striking combination!<br /><br />And regarding your adventure overall, I always find it such a treat to do as you and Tim did, i.e. to head off the beaten path onto untrodden snow. But as much as I enjoy doing that, I always feel a bit of remorse for having disturbed the snow that Mother Nature so lovingly laid down. In some ways it sort of feels like walking across a clean carpet with muddy feet! But then again, one could speculate that Nature put it there for us to enjoy. That is the line of reasoning that I ultimately choose to erase any guilt about "messing up" the snow! :-)<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-75912731799027538422013-03-14T17:36:31.144-07:002013-03-14T17:36:31.144-07:00Pure serendipity, Vickie!
If you're visiting ...Pure serendipity, Vickie!<br /><br />If you're visiting the Needles District of Canyonlands NP, then a scenic drive through the Abajos is a great, and recommended, way to beat the desert heat.<br /><br />I always appreciate your thoughtful comments, Vickie.

I've always wanted to visit Canyonlands, but reading this has given me incentive to book extra time and visit the Abajos too!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing such stunning photos (and the cool shadow image, too).
