What an experience! One that we will never forget for sure. Driving the winding road up to Mohonk Mountain House was a breathtaking spectacle. Every curve in the road brought us closer to the ice castle in the sky, the gem of the Hudson River Valley. We were quite surprised to see what lie ahead of us, from the bottom of the mountain we saw ice glistening, but surely we were not ready for what finally awaited us!
Every branch was covered with an inch of ice with the sun sparkling through! Even the parking lot lamps were a thing of beauty! AHHH!
There wasn't much to say except to stare in awe.....
Everyone up there stood in quiet reflection, how could anything be that beautiful?
This bench wanted to welcome you to sit and just gaze....
Even the red winter berries were decked out in their glory....
What a glorious time we had! One never to be repeated I am sure....
If you love true Victorian architecture, this is the place to visit!
