Snow, Ice and waterfalls

The further north we ventured the more snow and ice we saw. Spring was just arriving and it is such a beautiful time of the year. With the warm weather, most of the lakes and rivers were flowing full but one of the lakes we passed still had lots of ice. We were tempted to camp in the beautiful area but decided to push on to lower elevations where we hoped it would be warmer to spend the night. Often the days were warm, but the nights could be pretty cool. Of course the further north we got, the shorter the nights were. It stayed light later and later. We also saw many glaciers in the distance.
