Snowy Creek Bed

CO CR 69

Usually there is a beautiful creek meandering through the expansive Wet Mountain Valley, but winter creates its own patterned, White-on-White look: The creek appears like a 3D vision, and instead of cutting into the earth, it looks as if the creek is lying on top of the ground, like a gigantic serpent snaking through the enormous valley bordered to the West by the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Incredible: Standing at round level you would not even know that there is a wide creek at all - only when you flew a drone up and photographed the frozen landscape from a different vantage point, the creek bed became visible.
