Picture of the week ~ Mt. Shuksan & a Snow Angel

Artist Point road, snow walk

Since it was a beautiful blue sky day my husband decided that we would walk the Artist Point road. The gate is shut so it's just foot traffic now. As you can see the road is pretty bare at the gate. Table mountain is peaking through the trees.

Here's a better view of Table mountain, without the gate.

It didn't take us long to get to where the road was snow covered. 

I loved experiencing my first snow walk of the year. What a day for it! It was chilly in the shade and warm in the sun.

Such a cold blue ice area around this little puddle.

A rabbit print?

The snow was so dry, it kicked up like sand.

A view of the snow topped range of mountains in the distance.

Ferns and ice. 

Just a few more photos of our day.

Shuksan

Our lunch spot, just below the Table mountain trail.

Our lunch view. I loved that there were hardly any foot steps in the view. So beautiful.

Mount Baker

A perfect setting for my first snow angel of the year!

Shuksan and my snow angel ❤

After lunch we walked around the Artist Point area, I took the photo below of my husband at the viewpoint looking at Shuksan and the surrounding mountains❤.

Our snow walk couldn't have been better.

As we drove on down the road after our walk, I took a photo of the Ravens with a dusting of ice.
