 | Comments: |
Bennett Street Trail, Gleason Trail
We went up the Bennett Street Trail bare booting on the snow...not too bad.
Coming down the Gleason we encountered some deep snow and both of us had falls from unseen rocks and logs which allowed us to post hole deeply. Nothing serious, but scrapes and bruises. Great care has to be taken this time of year with footing and melting ice bridges. Perfect temperatures today for hiking. |
