Good morning,

It’s currently 30 degrees and partly cloudy up top. We have trace amounts of snow still on the ground. If you’re planning to hike up, expect ice in the higher elevations.

24 hour temperature range: High 23 Low 5

Finding it harder and harder to stay inside, I strapped on my camera for the fifth time and began marching toward the Clifftops. It was a short hike but the ice laden corridor made for a pre unique walk. A few hop-scotch moves later, and I was topping out on the ridge. Wind slapped me in the face as I walked out onto the rocky exposure. Oddly surprised, this seemed to happen every time I made my way to the Clifftops; yet, I always seem to forgive and forget.

The sun kissed the horizon, making a splash of color in the sky. I soaked in the scene with everything that I had. How could so much warmth envelop such a cold unforgiving landscape? The wintering mountains seemed to celebrate the gesture by taking on pastel hues of orange, pink and purple. Dumbfounded, I just stood and followed suit - soaking in as much warmth as I could.

Onward,
Seth
