As it turns out, there are always new things to find about a place, no matter how often you go back.
My friend Geo and I went for one of our semi-weekly hikes/trail walks about a month ago. The snow often looks discouraging, but with temperatures at a mere -1C, the whole idea seemed fine.
We usually end up spending an hour or so going down one forested hillside near our area, but we thought to go further down the trail itself this time. There were a few times where we didn't make much distance before the sun set, so this particular afternoon seemed to be a make-up session for all of that.
Good thing, too, because we found a side trail that led to some pretty nice views of the area. And it was a decently challenging hike too!
This is why I love the snow. We would never have been able to find that trail, had we not seen footprints going up. The snow also means that you can see animal tracks more easily, as well as the odd red cardinal.
I'm glad the snow's melting. I have way too many pictures of the same colours from the past few months.
