more horses. Golf courses and swimming are other activities available.

Snow covered mountains. I understand now is a great time for helicopter skiing.  There are wonderful ski trails in places.

Waterfalls can  be found in the country side. The geology is amazing.  Lava rock or glacial rock.  It takes a long time for the lava rock to become covered with vegetation.
