It snowed a great deal this week, and yesterday, Buddy and I snow shoed up the Mount Evans road that runs to the top of the 14,240 foot mountain. The road is closed to vehicles for the winter. High on the road the snow was mostly melted, and the wind had blown the snow off some of the alpine meadows. We climbed to above the tree line where the ancient Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pines are located.
