Twenty six degrees and sunny - beautiful day. Decided to try the carriage roads around the pond again - last time we were here we couldn't get up the hill to the parking lot, slid off the road, and got stuck. It was icy today but we made it up without difficulty.
I wanted to take the Friends Path down but Kelley wanted to go on the carriage road and so that's where we went. There was a nicely packed path for us to walk.
Just has it's head above the snow
One of the few views from this section
Further along the trail had less traffic but was still pretty good walking
From the bridge over the Jordan Stream. I have never before seen the stream completely covered.
The sections of the carriage road above the bridge were less used but still not bad footing.
A meadow on the east side of the pond
Obligatory shot of the pond
We did take the Friends Path back up to the parking lot
Open ledge section
A very nice hike. We were surprised at how few people had taken advantage of this lovely day. We met no one 'till near the end when we met two skiers and three people with four dogs. Kelley seemed pleased with the hike and showed no signs of difficulty. 2 1/4 hours
I'm loving all your snowy scenery!
