Patches of vegetation poke through a snow-covered island on Gold Creek Pond, located in Kittitas County, Washington. During the 1970s, the pond and surrounding areas were one large gravel pit, which construction workers used in building the nearby Interstate 90 highway. The site was cleaned up in the early 1980s, revealing a picturesque mountain pond that is now surrounded by a popular hiking loop.47°23'58.8"N, 121°22'43.7"W
