In reply to photobyjohnbo.We also visited an interesting quirky museum there, with an assortment of old farm buildings gathered from around the state and a rather jumbled mix of old tools, equipment, trucks etc.

In reply to Toonsarah.I wish we'd have spent more time in Winthrop. We would have had we read about it on the Internet before we went through town.

We definitely drove this highway, just a few years ago! I remember it very well – Diablo and Ross Lakes in particular. We had spent the previous night at the River’s Edge Resort in Winthrop, with a view of the river from our room and deer coming down to drink first thing in the morning. We also enjoyed one of those old-fashioned ice creams you mention 🙂

In reply to Lookoom.You are right. The minerals in the water not only color the water, they take away that reflectivity.Interesting phenomenon. :-)

It is Diablo Lake that you were comparing with Peyto Lake in Banff Park. Same lack of reflection, as if there was a hole in the picture.

In reply to neihtn2012.The great Northwest is a beautiful part of the world. When all is said and done, there is beauty everywhere. It's our job to find it. >grin<
