Looking down the Dearborn Trail Route: Dearborn Trail Primary day! The weather forecast had called for a mostly cloudy day with rain. Looking out the window all day, I didn't see as much as a cloud in the sky! Thus, I needed to get outside. The actual parking lot for the Dearborn Trail hadn't been plowed in a few storms - however, there were places at the end of the road plowed enough for maybe half a dozen vehicles. At 56 degrees, it was a warm day for January standards! As a result of the warm trend, significant portions of the trail were bare and very wet. Not only that, but the remaining slush and wet granular made for more challenging snowshoeing - uphill and down. Arriving at the summit, much of the sky had been overtaken by clouds. Nonetheless, I was able to see a decent sunset.
