First Snow on Broken Top

Broken Top, near Bend, Oregon

The moment

We went up to Broken Top for sunrise and had no idea it was supposed to snow.

As the light started to come up, we found ourselves in the middle of something beautiful: red rock, fresh white snow and a very, very cold morning. It is one of the best views you can find in Oregon.
