| no partners | | Crystal, Britni, and I wanted to take a short hike and try out snowshoes in an easy situation. We hoped there would still be enough snow to at least try them out. We chose the Butterfly Trail because it is mostly on the north aspect and should retain snow the longest. We parked at the Butterfly Trailhead across from Soldier camp and there was almost no snow there. We hiked about a quarter mile and began to get into some snow on the trail. There turned out to be just enough snow on the trail to allow us to at least give them a try and get comfortable with them. Most of the hike they traveled strapped to our packs.
We turned onto the Crystal Springs Trail and went about a mile and turned around. On the way back we saw some turkeys near the trail junction. They didn't seem very concerned about us and went on feeding as we walked by.
We are hoping Mt Lemmon will get another good snow so we can go back and really use the shoes.
We also found a set of new Honda keys in the snow. That had to suck. |
