Eight-mile Lake

It's everybody's favorite time for a walk!  At least in our household :)  With temperatures above zero and still 9 hours of light, it's a beautiful time of year to be outside.  Eight-mile Lake is, well, eight miles from the Parks Hwy. down the Stampede Road.  You can still drive a car to the end of the road because there is not enough snow yet, so we took advantage and went out for a walk recently.
It's definitely Boss's favorite time of year!
Looking south is the Healy Ridge.

To the east is Mt. Dora.
Just behind us is a happy dog!
A gentle breeze creating a spin drift on the road.
This little spruce tree is completely wrapped in snow.
Eight-mile Lake is frozen over now.  This little cabin is up for sale if anybody's interested.  Dry cabin (no plumbing), also no electricity and no road access (a mile walk or ride from the road).  It has a grand view of Denali though :)

The lake seemed to be pretty solid.  It at least held Boss when he leaped out onto it! 

The Big Mountain was out all day.
