Alpine forest at 11,000 feet in June

“Wind Blown Ice on Alpine Trees, Snowy Range Mountains, Wyoming”

This is what a forest looks like at 11,000 feet in June on the Medicine Bow Peak Trail on the way to the peak of the Snowy Range Mountains in Wyoming. The wind is always whipping down the slopes from the west and causes these (what I call) ‘ice bullets’ in one direction. Its amazing that these hardy trees survive this battering every winter (or should I say spring).
