A cloudy day in the valley

Having no work lined up for today, we went to bed last night looking forward to a sunny forecast and dreaming of finding the Ski Cabin miles out in the mountain wilderness. Even though the fog/clouds never dissipated we knew that the cloud cover was only up to about 8,000'.  Driving up to and through the clouds to the top was a surreal experience; It was my first time going from overcast and cold to blue bird sunny skies and warm in 10 minutes. Arriving at the parking lot I was treated to quite the view.



It would have been nice to get higher up and actually ski but today was my day off. On the way back home I took a detour and snapped a pic across the National Elk Refuge. Quite the stark contrast from just a couple thousand feet up. Seeing the cloud cover start to recede miles away was impressive too. It was like being in two different worlds in a matter of minutes.
