Coller State Wildlife Area

Eight well-wrapped snowshoers found the bright sun tempting enough to
brave -1° weather (at 10 am) to enjoy the beauties of Coller State
Wildlife Area and the surrounding Rio Grande National Forest. This
group knows the pleasure outdoor activity offers and the preparation
required to enjoy it. After a mile of making a path, a seat in the
snow, high above the Rio Grande, allowed for rest and an early lunch.

Going back to the cars was quicker; then we dallied over hot
chocolate at Blimpies.

Join us next Monday at the South Fork Visitor Center and float
through the snow. Bring snowshoes, warm clothes (you will warm up
during the walk), a snack, and a happy spirit. We leave at 10 a.m.
