 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I thought the might tough little dog would earn his moniker, and he did become a snowball schnauzer up high, but he removed his snowballs on top and scooted back and forth as we went down the trail, having a ball. Only danger was mine from laughing so hard. |

Pepper and I went nuts not hiking yesterday so I thought we could get the feel of a short but real winter hike in by doing Cannon in the am. There were a couple of inches of new snow at the parking area; maybe 6+ at the top, with just a little new stuff falling. I put the snowshoes on early for traction and kept them on the rest of the trip. The footprints from yesterday split where the ski trail spur intersects the KRT, and we took the ski path from there. Up on top we followed the KRT down a ways to see if it has been used, and it had not been. No views. Passed 2 skiers barebooting on the way up (they only postholed on the ski slope and that wasn't often) and saw 4 more skiers at the top with a lab, but I couldn't see how they had gotten there. |
