activity: snowshoeing
distance: 3 miles
time: 2 hours
A cool, sunny afternoon in January proved to be a perfect time for our first snowshoe trip. We chose a fairly easy trail that was only about 20 minutes from home. We had an elevation change of about 500 feet, topping out at just over 7900 feet. Not much wildlife was out today, but the views were excellent. A longer snowshoe trip is in order if we can ever get a fresh snow...it has snowed less than 3" in over a month! Here are a few of the views we enjoyed today:
The new snowshoes were a little tough on our feet, as you can see:
The only wildlife we saw all day was a group of deer near the road:
This was the route back down to the truck:
