~6" of white stuff up north, so had to get an adventure in. After entering the monument area, the scenery opened into a winter wonderland of ponderosas - totally awesome. We were the only ones exuberant (crazy) enough to hike today, so the trail was all ours. I hadn't decided on a hike when I arrived, so I hadn't uploaded the trail map into route scout, and service was long gone when I arrived. Good thing the trail was covered in snow ;). Actually, I was on the trail past the rim until about .25 remained and I just walked down the trail after I couldn't any longer discern a grade difference of the trail and the tree patterns didn't follow a trail.

It was brisk and windy, but the sun peaked on our way down. Fantastic but cloudy views of the San Franciscans and Sunset Crater. Surreal with the fresh powder that just finished falling.
