Echo Lake in March

It happened a long time ago. We drove to the mountains to see how Echo Lake looked frozen and covered with snow... But first we stopped to watch some buffaloes... Aren't they gorgeous?

 

I like this view. You see it all the time when driving up I-70, but when you drive you can see this mountain ridge for only a dozen seconds, but if you stop and go on the bridge above I-70 you can enjoy it for as long as you wish...

Finally - Echo Lake. Hm... I'd said... it's boring... Ice and snow hide the lake and make everything look just a snow field in the middle of the evergreen forest.

But at least we found a couple of birds feeding on the bushes.

Is it a lake again? Actually not. This is just an open space just a few steps off the parking lot.

But mountain peaks are still attractive and mystical...

 

And peaks look even better when you cannot see them clearly ;)

And we couldn't resist to stop at the bridge and look back and at the buffaloes again ;)
