I love trekking up to Embudo Box Canyon in the winter months. It's really quiet for one thing. Apart from the river itself, and perhaps a few small birds, nothing seems to move. But the really amazing thing is the ice. The base of the canyon doesn't get touched by the sun for two months or more, so the ice just piles up. As you'll see in this assortment of photos from a recent journey there, the water reflects the canyon walls in brilliant ways and when sunlight manages to creep down, the light is really magical. Enjoy the photos, and then get out and hit the trail and see it for yourself before spring starts to make things noisy again.
