Portage Lake In Winter


portage-lake-winter

My 3-year old daughter, Alana, and I went on a Daddy-daughter adventure this weekend.  We drove to Portage Lake then skiied from the Visitor's Center over to the face of Portage Glacier. (Actually, I skiied--Alana rode in the chariot.)  It took less than 30 minutes to get the few miles to the glacier.  I have to believe this is one of the most impressive glaciers either Big or Little Minnie Mouse has seen.

As we were returning, we saw two skiiers with large backpacks against the enormous backdrop of the surrounding mountains. I desaturated the blues in the image to give it the feel of an old Washburn black and white photo.
