The Hike
A super short, super sweet loop around Houghton's Pond. Been here many times before. I didn't want to dive too deep into real "exercise" this day, so instead I went in for a classic. Sadly, I went too casual and heavily regretted not bringing spikes. I went counterclockwise around the pond, and halfway through I jumped to the old route 128 to hopefully find less icy conditions. I was not successful, but I never fell! I only took this one photo for this hike. I'm very grateful to have this as a reliable option when I want to be outside but need to relax as well.
