First Snowshoe Hike -- Tree Spring Trail Area 2/1/2019

Judy A. finally got us back snowshoeing after not having been able to since early 2017 due to lack of snow.  It was so great to be able to get out in the mountains with a great amount of snow for our dry mountains. We all enjoyed the great weather ~ 40 degrees and sunshine.  Judi P. and Annette were out there with us after they have both returned to hiking after their injuries/surgery that kept them from hiking for a whole year.  It was good to see them again!  We found enough snow lower down than we thought so decided to stop at the Tree Spring Trail and snowshoe from there.

Lots of great snow!



 
Everyone was excited to be out on such a beautiful winter day

After about an hour going out, we turn around and Annette leads us back


Annette was just thrilled to be back hiking and snowshoeing!

Smile ladies!
