We had a break between snowstorms today so Wanda, timber and I slipped up the canyon behind the house and went snowshoeing along a natural gas pipeline clearing. It was a great hike!
It does look remote and in some ways it is. This photo was taken just a couple miles from our house. We live just the other side of the hills in the middle ground of the photo. About a half a million people live in the valley at the base of the mountains in the background. Here is the great part; most of those people never venture up the canyons to places like where I snapped this photograph. They miss so much of what is so close.
