Q5. Snow and water are constants on mountains. Anything in particular on a certain mountain within our public lands that is particularly unique that adds to its splendor? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 Getting to be above the treeline and seeing the tundra in @RockyNPS comes to mind. Such a treat. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A5 just always amazed that snow remains, even in July, on the taller Rockies! This is at the top of #beartoothpass.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5) #Parkchat I particularly recall how COLD the mountain lakes and streams are, so refreshing on a hike! I remember so clearly, listening to my 1st "Babbling brook", missing the summertime in the mountains RN!

A5 Somebody in a previous Q mentioned the Mountain of the Holy Cross (on Forest Service land); snow makes a cross on the side of the mountain. Thomas Moran painted it. Damn I gotta leave my job at the office! #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. I remember visiting Rocky Mountain NP for the first time, and being awed that snow remained in July. Pink snow. Later, as a birder, I visited mountain snow fields in summer to find rosy finches. #parkchat

A5: While not a mountain, the top of Bryce Canyons reaches 10K feet. The snow and ice formed the unique hoodoo formations that inspire wander and awe. #parkchat
