I need to correct something, I took this picture back in September of 2018, so it is actually an early fall day in Nevada. There was still a small amount of snow from winter on the top of Mt. Rose and as a side note, Mt. Rose had the most snow fall in the lower 48 last year and some of it stayed around until the winter this year.
Thanks for you awesome comment too.
Great mountain scenery on a fine, late-winter’s day in highland Nevada, USA!
The cloud formation in the sky looks like a bridge which you could cross on foot from one side of the mountain valley to the other quite easily! Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
