Before stopping at our friend Sonja’s home in Hungry Horse we took a drive up to Hungry Horse Dam and Reservoir. I tried to capture the interesting sight. The reservoir is mostly frozen, except near the dam. On our bright and sunny day the mountains and trees were reflected in the non-frozen (but still freezing!) water, and if you looked at it the right way, it looked like the ice dropped off of a shear cliff. I thought it was neat anyway. (If you click it to enlarge, the effect is more pronounced.)

Alpha creek runs into the reservoir through a culvert. The creek is flowing slowly, but the snow melt will increase the water flow. Even if it doesn’t look like the snow is melting.
