Hiked up in complete solitude. Fist person on the trail that day. The higher I climbed the more snow that I encountered. Soft and sticky and easy to walk on. I loved looking back on my footprints in the snow. Stopped halfway down and just listened. Closed my eyes. Complete quiet and solitude. Pure serenity.
Took a picture in my mind and will try to hold onto this moment.
Nice! I’m headed here on Thursday, but going from the Maiden Lake trailhead on the east side for a change.
