Finding Trail Descriptions

So as not to repeat myself excessively, I am reducing the amount of description of trails that have already been posted. Please use the search function ( upper left) to find older posts which have more detailed trail descriptions and pictures. You can also use this to find specific hikes either by trail or mountain.

12/2/14 Hidden Ponds


Sunny but 30 degrees colder than yesterday. Winter weather warning for tonight and tomorrow - snow, sleet and freezing rain so we wanted to get in a good one today.

Twenty one degrees


Most of the snow was gone from the trails


but the bog bridges were a bit icy


Once we got past the Loop Trail to the trail to Tilden Pond ( no longer maintained) there was more snow - shadier I think - and soon no tracks but deer.

Tilden pond





The trail to Spring River Lake has some very wet sections but there is a side trial to bypass much of it if you can find it in the snow - Kelley eventually found it .


The trail then became the snowiest section of trail


When we reached the lake Kelley was disappointed to find a skin of ice along the shore


We took the trail back and I was going to skip the Loop Trail but Kelley wanted to go that way so we did.

Another Little Long Pond



A pretty day if you didn't mind the cold - it never got out of the low 20's but we got in 3 hours in anticipation of tomorrow being an easy day.
