CP Trail to HH Trail Loop Twice
Started out at Sunrise. Put snow shoes on after a mile or so. Snow was like cement in places. Could have used crampons or bare booted it but I put on the Snow Shoes and that was good. About a foot of snow. Trail Broken out really good. Great Photo Shots today. Deer, Turkey, and Rabbit Tracks. Got Buzzed pretty low by a flock of Geese - Really Cool!!! People were cross country skiing and having a great time. It was tough going once the temperature got to about 38 degrees and the snow started to melt. |
