This is Big Bear Mountain in the San Bernardino National Forest Range
after our last big snow a couple of weeks ago.
I took this picture on our way up to our cabin last Thursday.
Our cabin is at 5000 feet in Crestline and we had tiny patches of dirty snow
when we got there.
Big Bear is at 8805 feet and is one of Southern California's favorite Ski Resorts
with a lot more excepted today.
As I scanned the horizon and turned in the opposite direction,
I was able to get a great picture of the San Gabriel Mountain Range.
The city of Wrightwood is located there
with Mountain High being its Ski Resort at 8200 feet.
Not quite as crowded or popular as Big Bear
but the perfect resort to learn how to ski at.
When we got to our cabin last week,
one of the first things I looked for
was any water run off in our streams.
It's still a bit too chilly for much being in the 20's, 30's and 40's.
We have a stream next to our property that has a tiny trickle right now
and too difficult to really take a decent picture of.
But this stream above is much more beautiful and about a 1/2 mile walk from us
in a neighborhood called Valley of the Moon.
It had a bit more water streaming down the rocks
and some lovely moss/lichens beginning to grow.
It's such a peaceful place to sit and listen to the water run.
Another huge storm partially moved in yesterday
with a lot of snowfall expected.
Today its really coming down.
We were going to go up but now are taking a pass,
we don't want to get snowed in.
Those snow covered mountains make my heart happy ... may you be warm and safe in the cold weather that is coming down into the valleys below
ReplyDeleteIt's been crazy cold here in the hills with all this rain and snow on the mts. I love it! I get to wear warm clothes and boots that I rarely get to use. And yes, we are staying snuggled up at home. xo
