Hop, Skip & A Jump, Ker-plunk!

Long gone are these stepping stones, now covered by heavy winter snows.  Once again, black & white can enhance a photograph, where color might skew depth and drama.  Taken just a few months ago, Old Man Winter has since arrived in Steamboat, and Mad Creek is hidden under several feet of white stuff.  Once spring run off begins, these rocks will create underwater moguls for a powerful, cascading river.  By summer, the rocks will once again become visible, and make for excellent stepping stones to cross the creek, or to sit upon and gaze at the trout.
