As the snow falls and the winter wonderland surrounds the region, thoughts of glaciers come easily to mind.  The North Park Range nestles numerous glacier-carved valleys.  Around Steamboat, Fish Creek, Soda Creek, and Mad Creek are familiar.  For a bit more information see:  http://emerald-mtn-geo.com/steamboat-springs-geology-tidbits/fish-creek-falls-steamboat-and-north-park-mountain-range-glacial-topography/

Happy Winter!
