DRIVING UP THE HWY - THE ONLY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WAS THE GARBAGE TRUCK GOING TO THE DUMP

As soon as it stopped snowing we headed up the highway - ...In some places it was mostly frozen icy crystals on trees and not a lot of snow on the ground.  Rim Hwy always gets the coldest temps as winds and snow blow across into the communities.  I love getting out as quick as possible when fortunately there is not enough snow on the roads to make it where you have to wait for a plow.  A little higher up as we went along there was more snow but in these photos it was still easy driving.  We didn't try to go higher than Arrow Bear because a part where they call the road/hwy .."Artic Circle" definitely was requiring chains.

This is just photos along a quick pass through Sky Forest area where Skypark/Santas Village is.  They have cleared a lot of trees making for a bigger parking lot.  Sky Park has become extremely popular over the last three years when it was reopened into a beautiful mountain destination place.

  1. Spectacular....those frozen ice crystals are so pretty on the branches.
    Yesterday was nice but chilly and windy. We managed a walk around the block, but today its gray and showery . Don't think we will make it out for our walk today.
    Have to admit I'm putting off getting paperwork in order for doing our taxes.
    Not hard to do but I'm just not motivated...
    The laptop is much more alluring today...HaHa...
    Doing well, staying home and trying to behave!

  6. I love the rimfrost on the trees, the Native Americans here call it pogo nip. I haven't seen it close up here, so this was a treat. Beautiful pictures as always. And what a fun trip to take.

  8. What beautiful views! Icy trees are always stunning. Although when I was around them I would constantly worry about power outages!

  9. What pretty trees! The last time I saw that in person was when we lived in Oklahoma, 8 years ago. It's hard to fathom you still have such cold weather.
    Hope you are staying well.
