April Snow


The Stanley Hotel presides over Estes Park, with Lumpy Ridge as its backdrop.  A snowy peak of the Mummy Range can be seen at left.  Estes Park normally sees some snow in April, but this year has been really warm with spring-like weather in March and April.  Finally, folks woke up to snow yesterday morning, although it is far from enough to make up for the less than normal amounts received this year.  Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park has been melting already, and people have been warned not to walk across it.  Yesterday's snow won't last due to daytime temperatures reaching into the 50s and 60s.  Spring is knocking on the door.
