While walking through an arroyo in the far southern end of Spring Creek Basin the other day, I came upon these nifty little beauties:
These snow “wheels” really did roll right up as they rolled right down the arroyo walls!
The first pic is from one place, and the last two pix are the same spot. There were many such spots throughout the arroyo, and I promise that I didn’t have a hand in creating any of them! Their perfect coils must have had something to do with the moisture content of the snow that allowed them to roll so perfectly down the walls/slopes?
There’s always something wonderful to see in Spring Creek Basin!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
That is downright weird! Nature IS amazing, isnt it (or she)
She most certainly is amazing. 🙂
That is so cool, TJ! Spring Creek Basin is just full of delightful things. I’m grateful for your treks into all of the nooks and crannies so you can show us this stuff! Those snow rolls are nature’s craftsmanship at its best. 😃
I love my rambles in the basin – not least to see the mustangs! I hope I never “see it all.” There’s so much to see and to learn. 🙂
That’s kewl!
Right!? 🙂
Wow! Really strange!
🙂 Strange and marvelous!
Wow!!! We didn’t get enough snow or enough hills (ha ha) for this phenomenon.
It would have been interesting to see them in action. I don’t know how long ago they rolled; it’s been a while since we got snow – and that amount is older snow. And it was just in the arroyo that I saw it, nowhere else.
That is so cool !
Amazingly cool!
