Day 93

Today was beautiful. It was one of those really pretty overcast winter days with zero wind above treeline and a ton of rime ice. While there were no sweeping views or bluebird skies I couldn’t have asked for better conditions with the exception of the sleet that started falling at the very end of the day. I avoided the weather that blew in, though, and had the trails almost all to myself. Today reminded me of why winter hiking is so gosh darn beautiful and why I still can’t help but love it even though it is so harsh and unforgiving.
