Royal blue sky, warm spring weather, and panoramic scenery greeted us April 2nd at St. Mary's Glacier, just ten miles from I-70 off exit 238. Our two and a half hour hike took us to the top of St. Mary's and if the wind had not been a factor, we would have gone further.
James Peak was another several miles away and would be a great day hike later in the spring. We particularly liked the the views from the top looking back down at the lakes.
Snowshoes were a must as the snow was deep at the start and ice-crusted and steep on the climb up.
We enjoyed a fairly solitary hike with only a couple of skiers gliding down and a few other snowshoers along the route.
