A Fat Old Lady Takes Up Climbing | ||
Back to Spring 08 | ||
Crawling out from under the late snow, and finally seeing signs of spring, was slow in coming. Perhaps that makes it even sweeter. |
May 18, 2008 Much of the Flattop Mountain Trail is still snow-covered, some places 3 to 4 feet deep, and I didn't have the right footware with me, so I just took the short loop trail around Blueberry Hill. It still gets up into alpine tundra, which I really enjoy. There were no flowers yet, except for the Arctic Willows that spread along the ground in tundra areas. My dog had a wonderful time rolling in the snow. It was great to get even this little taste of mountain hiking. | ||
