| no partners | | This is like ten minutes away from my house and checked it out yesterday to see what the trail was like. Submit as a Snowshoe, but this is hiking as well. Today I quickly got some snowshoes, drove up the narrow mountain road and parked by the outhouse where there were a couple other cars.
Walk across the street to the "Lamb's Canyon Trail-head" little map plus bridge just down below. It was rain/sleet/snow in the higher elevations today. This starts out pretty easy, nice and straight minor ascent. Basically, following the creek up the mountain and about 3/4 mile up it starts getting steeper. Forest somewhat thick and now there are a few switchbacks and snow getting deeper in some areas. Thanks to some kids who were "hiking" not snowshoeing, made it difficult on some of the deeper/steep areas. Their feet when down at least 1 1/2ft into the snow, but it will snow tonight so whatever I guess.
Get to the top 8100ft, I'm sure there is nice views but it was cloudy today and not worth my time taking pics with the sleet, wind etc... This connects to Mt Aire and was not about to do all that today. Yes, because of the rain and this is my first hike in Utah and I think my last hike was "Pine Mountain" in AZ. Believe it or not, this was alot like Pine but with snow. Pine was easy climb at first and steeper at top, just like this. This is a little better on route finding though and no bushwhack!! Turn around at the top and head back down watching out for those pesky kids foot holes/pits.
Great hike and was in fact my first one of Utah. no, i do not want to submit as trail description... although really its a trail and it goes uphill there are some trees... |
