Very recently it snowed! The biggest snow I have seen on the mountain since living up here. I find it fascinating the activity which is evident in the snow, which normally I would see no trace of, such as rabbit tracks….

This looks like turkey and fox walking together, but more likely fox is tracking the turkey.   Then the biggest tracks of all,  and Emma is following mountain lion tracks…

Mountain Lion paw print…

Finally, 2600 feet up, at the peak , so incredibly quiet.

 It was an awesome wintry day and one of the best hikes I can remember, from our own door …  a snowy & blissful winter wonderland!
