No Snow? Let's go hiking...


We've been hiking a lot this month. It has been unseasonably warm, the skiing is barely worth it, so we've been hiking instead! Last weekend was White Oak Canyon/Cedar Run loop which was really challenging -- steep and long. Today we hiked Little Devil's Stairs -- short & steep and always pretty.

It was cold & icy at White Oak Canyon.

The sun helped keep us warm as we hiked up.

There was s lot of eye candy along the way.


We've decided that Little Devil's Stairs is the best, closest hike. Less than 2 hours, spectacular scenery, good upward hiking, interesting rocks, and the fire road down isn't a slog.

It's interesting how the ice in the picture under the eye candy is building up on top of the twigs not hanging below as normal.
