Believe it or not, this was my first ever trek up the Bell Trail. Hit the trail about 7:15, just before sunrise. It was a chilly morning, and it stayed that way for most of the trip. Though probably not as much as the spike on sunday, the creek was running pretty high. It was still cold and shady when I reached Bell Crossing, and with high water plus some ice on some of the boulders, I decided against crossing. Bell Crossing is a really cool area though, as is the Crack, so I'll definitely be back in warmer weather!
