We took a circular route up to some of the high passes and then down, and then up, and then down again. In terms of distance driven about 8o miles, Linear measurement on a map about half of that. The snow at the tops is still about ten to twelve feet high in places, (see the pictures). The little car had it’s work cut out that day. Some of the mountain passes, including foot paths, are closed because of the amount of snow still lying.
