Heading up toward the Great Hill summit
After not hiking all week due to the snowy weather, I finally was able to sneak out during my lunch break and snowshoe Great Hill. I was somewhat surprised when I discovered unbroken trail upon arriving at the parking lot - cross country skiers must have hung up their equipment for the season!
There was probably about 8-12" of snow on the trail, making for some extra effort in comparison to my hike on Sunday.
The views from the summit were great again, though an oncoming storm to the west was quickly consuming the mountaintops.
