Snow shoe trip along the Rio Grande river

               I went on a snowshoe trip down and along the Rio Grande river.  I went up river not quite two miles.  It was such beautiful scenery along the way as all the mountains and ridges all around the valley  were buried in snow.  there was about 36 inches of snow i was traveling over so all the fences were buried.  Usually in a normal snow year one has to cross the fence some how but this year icould just step over the last strand of barb wire that was barely sticking out of the snow.
