Driving past Mount Shasta a few years ago, I wondered about the road reflectors that were 8 and 10 foot tall. I then realized it was August and they get a LOT of snow come winter.
The first time I went to the Rocky Mountain National Park I saw the snow markers and I was amazed at how tall the were. I have been on roads in Colorado that remind me of these. Of course the mountains aren’t quite as high but close. One time my son who was probably 10 at the time said while we were driving in the mountains “we are above the clouds” and we were! 😄
