Comments
Comments: I often stop and do the short loop over Pitcher when I'm passing through the area, and today I'm really glad I did. The trees and shrubs are works of natural art at the moment, all encased in ice. Simply gorgeous combined with the bright sunlight.

Some folks will balk at the choppy trail conditions, but it was fine to bareboot all the way. New snow is fairly minimal over a solid base.
