After a couple days of rain and wanting to get in one last "high" hike before heading back to Phoenix, Zarita and I decided to hike up to one of our favorite alpine lakes: Bullion King. I only brought my iPhone as ultimately we were hoping to look for rocks instead of take photos. Our hike started out like many others but we were shocked to find the road/trail completely covered with approximately 4-5 inches of snow. Obviously, we didn't look for rocks but we did get an early adventure into the snow. I sure wish we would have brought our snow shoes.
 
            
          The Road is mostly dry and it only looks like there is a little snow up in the basin

          Reflection in the puddle on the road. Snow increasing
 
            
          Zarita (and yes she is in shorts-her mother said she needs to get some pants)
 
            
          The snow depth increases as we continue hiking higher

          Rocks that we could see. We were shocked to see this much snow on the ground.

          The reflections at the lake were amazing
