WINTER WONDERLAND AT IT'S BEST. THE WICHITA MOUNTAIN WILDLIFE REFUGE WAS BREATH TAKING TODAY!TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2010
TREASURE LAKE WAS TALKING TO US TODAY. ICE CRYSTALS WERE FALLING FROM THE TREES INTO THE WATER. THIS IS A PERFECT PICTURE OF THE BEAUTY IN THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER. 
THIS IS THE PEAK WE CLIMBED ON TOP OF
ICE COVERED ROCKS LOOKED LIKE ICE CREAM.
THE ICE WAS ABOUT TWO INCHES OR MORE ON MANY TREES
WE CLIMBED UNDER THIS TREE TO GET TO THE PATH ON THE OTHER SIDE.
JAY IS AMAZED HOW THICK THE ICE IS ON THE LIMBS. 
HELEN IS AWED BY THE ICE FORMATIONS
ICE ART
WE LOVE IT HERE. WHAT A PERFECT PLACE TO COME WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OF BEING LOCKED UP INSIDE WITH NO ELECTRICITY, HEAT OR WATER. IT TAKES YOUR MIND AWAY FROM ALL YOUR WORRIES.
THIS IS THE PEAK WE CLIMBED ON TOP OF
LOOK WHERE WE HAD LUNCH TODAY
ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN PEAK IN A WONDERLAND OF ICE AND ROCK.
WE TOOK A HIKE FROM TREASURE LAKE AS FAR AS WE COULD GO FOR 1 1/2 HOURS AND ENDED UP ACROSS FROM ELK MT. TOP OF THIS PEAK.
THE ICE, SNOW AND ROCK WAS AWESOME.
IT BECAME ANOTHER HIKE TO REMEMBER. ENJOY THE PICTURES THAT FOLLOW.
WE SAW LONGHORN, HOGS, BUFFALO, LOADS OF BIRDS FLYING OVERHEAD AND 3 ELK.
DURING THE HIKE ICE AND LIMBS WERE FALLING FROM THE TREES. IN LAWTON THE ICE WAS ALL GONE WHEN WE GOT BACK TO TOWN. IT MELTED ALMOST COMPLETELY AWAY AFTER 5 DAYS OF IT HANGING ON. BUT THE MOUNTAINS STILL HAVE THE ICE WONDERLAND.

NO WORDS CAN TOTALLY EXPLAIN HOW WONDERFUL A HIKE IS IN THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS
NOTHING ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT
BEAUTY AT ITS BEST!
