The concierge showed me a map and drew me a path around the frozen lake that would be an easy walk. He kindly told me which trails to avoid if I did not want to be attacked by a cougar. Then he sent me on my way. 
I promptly got lost. Apparently snow covered trails are hard to follow even if it is only circling the lake. At this point I would like to mention that I found other lost folk on my search to reunite with the trail. 
The advantage to getting lost was, of course, seeing some gorgeous outlooks. I saw oodles of animal prints, but no animals. I wouldn't have minded seeing an elk but I wasn't disappointed that I did not find any wild cats.
The weather was perfect for a weekend in the mountains. The skies were perfectly clear and the weather was just warm enough to enjoy being outdoors.

Gorgeous! Looks like a fun time (even if you didn't run into any cougars). :)
Glad to hear things are warming up a bit there in preparation for spring. We had a week of summer last week and are back to late winter. Spring is funny like that.
Wow, I can't believe how pretty it is. I think we might have to move to Canada - I really missed winter this year!
I have gotten lost many a time on a snow-covered trail - there should be red ribbons and balloons on every tree along the way. Good for you for going on the adventure!
