Snowshoes were the way to go today. We appreciated the group that were ahead of us for helping pack down the trail. The trails were pretty decent until the climb up North. Really had to work getting up there today. Coming down South, my feet did not want to stay on the ground. I managed to keep a controlled butt slide until I was able to walk again. It was a super fun hike, especially for our dogs. |
