Its frosty as hell, and we start our drive towards the park. As usual, its dark when we leave, and we get to see yet another sunrise. Its about a two hour drive before we technically enter the park, however, we are already immersed in the nature of the area after an hour. We drive up steep mountains and see a whole city covered in fog down below. 

As stated, its frosty as hell, which means its also icy as hell. Despite there being a good amount of visitors none of the treks up to viewpoints have been salted. At one point, while we are making our up to a viewpoint, I simply start to slide downwards before a strangers hand catches me and pulls me back up. Going down from the viewpoints felt just as dangerous, however, with an solution - I sit down and glide the way to the bottom, where I see dad has already made his way.
