It's Christmas Eve!! I was visiting my sister in Fort Collins, Colorado, and we decided to go for a snowshoeing trip at the Rocky Mountain National Park. It's a very sunny day but with strong wind.

We arrived at the Bear Lake Parking Lot. Wow, there was a lot of snow and the wind was so strong. I couldn't complain too much that it was so beautiful, and I was surprised quite a lot of people were doing the trip. We put on our snowshoes and marched through the trees on a steady uphill.

Trail condition was very good. It was well packed in the middle, and very soft and deep on both sides.
