Hot n Snowy Springs Mountain

Several of inches of snow throughout the whole mountain on the ascend. Watch your head for snowballs falling from the trees, they hurt! The weather was a perfect mix of crisp air and steady sunshine. The beginning of the hike was quite difficult with some serious incline. It steadied out after about 2 miles then returned just before the summit. Gorgeous views at the top. The snow started to melt on the descend; a several slushy puddles. The snow was mostly melted on the steepest decline section a few miles from the trailhead. Overall such a fun and challenging experience.
