Thank you! I really wanted to see that and appreciate you getting that way to take/post a picture.
It's a beauty!

Hey Tim.....you see 4 Peaks in the background Rolling Eyes

Why do you have to rub it in with these pics?

I've actually got my fingers crossed that GPSJoe will find time to snag a similar picture of 4 Peaks today.

They looked absolutely stunning today covered from head to toe in a thick blanket of snow.....as were the surrounding mountain ranges.

If we get more weather this weekend a trip up something that way might just be in order. ..........I'm thinkin!

I'm getting a bit of hiking in this week, just going up and down my driveway. There's over a foot of snow covering it, and it'll take me a while to get it all shoveled off... Sure looks nice though! Hiking

Hope these are OK. Did the Black Mesa Loop today for probably the 5th time. But nothing compares to today. Between the snow and plentiful water I shot my brains out. I will put together an album but I need to go through the more than 200 shots I took today.

WOW! Those are beautiful, Joe!
I'm going to play in the snow this week-end with my snowshoes or skis. I suspect I won't have quite as nice of weather to return to when I get back home. I'm a weee bit jealous!

Joe that top shot leaves me speechless.......they are all stellar shots! Thank you for helping the working folks out today with your hike.

The snow is melting quickly....fingers crossed for another round this weekend.

The last pic was my favorite. It gave me goosebumps!

WOW those are gorgeous. I was riding home with my carpoolers and we were wondering where the snow was on the mountains. I said 4 peaks and they thought Cave Creek. Does anyone know if there was some in Cave Creek area?

Tim, you'd be much more persuasive getting people to go Browns Peak with you if you showed them these pics first. Smile

Great pics, gpsjoe. It's always a treat when the Four Peaks are white.
