This Saturday I went snowshoeing at Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is about 40 miles Northwest of Boulder...65 or so miles from my condo in Denver. I went with a small group of co-workers. There were quite a few other people on the trail that began 1/2 mile below the first of three small, frozen lakes that we got to walk across the ice on. The ice was very clear and the strong wind cleared the snow off most of the lakes so you could see into the ice. It was almost like walking on glass.
