The Hike
A quick final trip to the Tourne of 2024! It was a pretty, chilly morning at 15 degrees and there were no other cars in the parking lot (yay!). The morning light was stunning on the snow, which ranged from a dusting to 3". My puffy came off after a few minutes and then I alternated with a baselayer/fleece sleeps up and down for the rest of the hike. I only saw one person on my hike - one guy at the top of my second lap. The best thing I saw, though, was a beautiful red fox following the trail down with me. It was fixating on something in the woods, so I had to announce myself a couple of times so it knew to keep it moving. A fun morning!

- Start hike on Yellow Dot trail from parking lot.
