Looking up the Old Bridle Path
Route: Old Bridle Path
After taking a few days off the trails to rest a sore ankle, I headed out for a snowshoe jog on a nice, sunny afternoon.
Though recently hit by a large storm, the region didn't pick up as much snow as nearby areas. Thus, there was still a minimal base on the Old Bridle Path. Having not used running snowshoes for the purpose of running (or more specifically, jogging), it was a bit of a work out. From the near-summit ledges, the views were quite nice.
