We made a pit stop for Roxanne and found a beautiful vista in the process. At the lower elevations, the snow had melted.
We arrived at the Skyline trailhead. With temperatures in the 40s, we decided to leave our sleeping golden girl in the truck while we hiked. We were amazed at the amount of snow on the trail here. In many places, the trail was iced over. The summit view, however, was well worth the slippery slope.
Next, we decided to drive to Lake Moraine. Thankfully, we arrived in between tour buses and decided to take Roxanne for a stretch. It felt great to take the hike along the lake. Lake Moraine has always been a favorite spot of ours. We had hoped to spend our 25th anniversary in one of the cabins here but another family wedding took precedence. We still have it on our bucket list.

As we were leaving, a raven sat on a rock, looking for handouts. I stopped to take a photo of him along with a large group of tourists from one of the newly-arrived buses.
As we strolled back to the truck with Roxanne by my side, another tour bus began to unload. Suddenly, we felt like we were celebrities in the midst of paparazzi. Wait, let me rephrase that... David and I felt that we were escorting a celebrity in the midst of paparazzi. Suddenly Roxanne became the center of attention to the entire group of tourists from the bus. She patiently sat as each one took her photo. We were cracking up with laughter. How many photo albums will this dog end up in by the time it is all said and done? (We have since begun calling her the Royal Queen!)

We returned to a favorite campsite at Two Jack. Skies were heavy and the park attendant whispered rumors of more snow to come. We're still hoping for skies to clear!
