Snowy Landscape - Colton

Walking along the Raquette River at the Stone Valley trail in Colton, we saw some beautiful, snowy sights. I took many pictures here because the scenes were so beautiful, and this is one of my favorites. At the time, many of the waterfalls were frozen with water rapidly flowing beneath the icy caps. During the spring, Raquette River has a huge problem with flooding, to the point where in some spots, trees have suffered greatly because of the flooding.
