This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We rented a car and headed for the mountain, hunting for snow. After a 12-mile drive on a dirt road that took an hour, we ended up at this lake, bordered by steep slopes. So steep that when the kids climbed on the snow, I was thinking of the headline “Clueless Texan Didn’t Know the First Thing About Avalanche Avoidance.” I told Amy I felt like we were at the beginning of a Rescue Heroes video. The kids froze their hands having a snowball fight and we made a snowman too (named “Snowie”).
I was really jealous to see groups of cyclists riding the curved, fun-sloped, empty paved road that led to the dirt road.
