  Looking up the Old Bridle Path
 
 Route: Old Bridle Path
 
 With cloudy skies and somewhat cold temperatures, I headed over to West Rattlesnake for a quick jog.  While the Old Bridle Path had quite a few patches of blue ice, I was able to jog up without traction.
 
 From the near-summit ledges, the views were decent.  The lakes looked to be freezing over.
