James Peak Wilderness

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

This past weekend, Jen and I took Strelka up to James Peak Wilderness for a little snowshoe jaunt. It was a beautiful day with plentiful remnants from the latest snow storm.  The low angled sun towards the afternoon made for fun photo playing with sunlight and shadows in the trees.

On our way up there was still some blue sky
