    The wind has sculpted tiny ocean waves out of snow near Mountain Vista. These glittering waves are just inches tall and easy to miss if not seen from the right angle. Sometimes it’s the unexpected small surprises that become the best part of a day spent exploring the park.

    DYK? Trees are sensitive to local climate conditions & their growth rings can tell us about past conditions. Tree rings typically grow wider in warm, wet years & thinner in cold or dry years & if the tree experienced drought it might hardly grow in those years!
