The thin air at this altitude makes you huff and puff just walking out to the overlooks and back to the parking lot!

What does an elk find so appealing about these conditions?!

Stakes to mark the side of the road for the snow plows. Does it really get that high?!

It's so cold up there, the ponds are still partially frozen!

Heading back down the other side ...

Back at Marys Lake Lodge for the night. Definitely one of the nicer places we stayed on the trip and great food at the lodge restaurant, too.
