Mar 23 hike — Lick Brook

Hello Hikers!

Fantastic morning along Lick Brook

we lucked out with the weather and hit a snow squall at the trail head  —  gorgeous atmospheric conditions while it was snowing hard

and the squall left just enough snow cover to really light up the woods and show them off at their best

There was some tricky ice along the trail  —  but it was doable with a little effort even without YakTrax

Official head count:  21 hikers, five dogs

As I’ve said, I love everything about this trail  —  and I’m a big believer that atmospheric conditions can really make a hike  —  I’d say we had a case of a perfect snowstorm Sunday.
