The first week of May brought us plenty of sunshine and
cabin fever got me out and going. We had
the first hike of the season and it was beautiful. The southern slopes were nice and dry but the
valleys and north slopes still had a lot of snow. Old man winter wanted to catch me one more
time (see the photo below). You can see the depth of snow remaining. This is a good reminder for us to be prepared
early in the season as the snow melts and becomes soft. Walking sticks are a must. It is also a good idea to have a second set
of clothes, the snow is packing a lot of water.
This week we are known as “Guides-To-Snow”, I love it! Thanks Jared.
