Rattlesnake Mt. 3/4/2021

North

I was going to go to Grand Prospect today but I didn’t quite make it. Even with the spikes trudging uphill on icy snow is a bit wearing. I will try again next week. Either the conditions will be more favorable or I will be just a bit stronger.

As always, what I see is not well represented by what I can capture with the camera but I was really interested in the beauty of the trail, with the snow and the little pieces of fir tree:

And also as always, I just love the forest above Stan’s:

Forest With Snow

I am definitely psyched about the fact that spring, and then summer, are just around the corner. Better hikes will soon be available (as the avalanche danger recedes) and I will be training in earnest for Sourdough Mountain. Onward!
