 | Comments: |
Today's hike had a bit of everything. We had bare ground, ice flows, hard frozen snow and running water. We left the snow shoes in the car. The snow is very hard packed and not very deep. Of course, that could change with the storm forecasted for Saturday night. It was 4 degrees when we started and 16 when we finished. We're not used to temps that low yet. |
