Blizzard Journey

This was taken after two feet of fresh snow had fallen. It was very difficult to even reach the parking lot at Bear Lake and then took us nearly 4 hours to reach this point near Lake Haiyaha. The winds were howling and the conditions were blizzard like. We set out hoping that the clouds would clear in time for sunrise, but it didn't happen. This photo shows what we go though in order to get images like the ones on this website. It isn't merely leaning out the car window and snapping an image, but often involves expending incredible effort for just one image. Thanks to Michael Hodges for letting me use this photo of him.
