One More Snow Hiking

Even though I'm not in the best of shape because of all the travel to the East Coast, Gaius Derf really wanted to hike so I agreed to go today. The hiking gods were smiling. We had an unexpected couple of inches of snow! With the change to daylight savings time, even at 8:30 AM we were the first ones out. The snow wasn't too deep and was nice and powdery. While it was around 30 degrees when we left, there was no wind, blue skies and bright sunshine.

Even the cacti were in winter wonderland.
The snow puts a whole different view on the mountain,
Especially with the bright sunlight.



A couple of happy hikers!

It's easier to see the bear prints in the snow!
