Wallowas, Norway Basin - April 1-4,2010

I had the opportunity to spend four days snowshoeing in the Wallowas staying in a yurt. Emily and Patrick organized the back country ski adventure and invited me along. I didn't need to be asked twice.

"Is this cool or what?"

No one was in a hurry to end the lunch break
