Bald Hill Road to the Abbott Loop and up to The Pinnacles look-out, Danby SF
The snow was a bit deep, and quite soft and slippery — luckily, someone had driven up the road and there was a nice set of compressed tire tracks where the walking was much easierHeading up on the Abbott Loop — no tire tracks here — what’s normally a somewhat strenuous climb to The Pinnacles became very tiringFive people are missing from this shot, two taking photos and three laggards. The view in the background is fantastic, but I can never figure out how to include it properly in these group photosOn the downhill leg of the Abbott Loop — this stretch is normally a breeze, but it was fatiguing this time because the snow was so slipperyBack down on Bald Hill Road — no one could face the prospect of retracing our steps up to the look-out, so we decided to walk south on the road for a while insteadAfter two days of slogging through soft snow, my ass was seriously dragging as this hike wrapped up — I was really happy we were done
