Off season best season

Just had one of the best mountain trips ever, at extremely cheap rates and without the mobs that make every touristy place intolerable.

Had this almost for a personal beach for an hour. Was traveling with 5 other people but we were out of each other's earshot.

Of course it was only so empty cause the cold was , even with 4 layers on I was shivering at the passes.

Also got a great adrenaline rush when this frozen lake I was walking on began to crack underfoot. Fastest I've walked I think.

And met the cutest puppy

Its not really clear in the pic but he could fit in my hands entirely. Never seen such a small pup. And he was so fluffy.
