A light snow dusting accents an already beautiful landscape. The Red Hills rarely enjoys a deep blanket of snow but whatever graces the land is appreciated. Even a light white blanket gives a nice contrasting perspective. While more precipitation is hoped for by the rangeland, wildlife and ranchers, every little amount helps to replenish soil moisture going into spring regrowth.

on the rangeland; but, they can provide some variety to landscape pictures. |
