We welcomed Susan M on her first hike with Pathfinders. Susan you are sure to enjoy many more!

The recent snow covered what would othewise have been an icy trail. The temaperature dip hardened the surface, some would say it was a bit slippery in spots.

The initial berm chanllenged our footng which most hikers conquered with their crampons and poles.

Our trail cut through a very popular off leash dog area. The dogs were quite social.

A group photo at the last rest stop with all eager to continue.

We noted this electrical utility pole has a deep radial crack from ground to the wires above. Is it a sign of age, or was it the cold weather?
