Route: Pasture Trail

Via this side of West Rattlesnake, there was only a dusting of snow (just enough to make things pretty slippery, but not enough to allow for light traction). I suspect Old Bridle Path probably still has some icy areas, though. Cold sunrise, but unfortunately missed the best colors, which occurred about 25 minutes earlier (sky and lake ice turned red).

Directions to trailhead: Take Route 113 West from Center Sandwich. Shortly after the Mt. Morgan parking lot, take a left onto Pinehurst Road. Park outside the private property entranceway (don't block the road!), then follow the road up shortly, taking a left, then a right between two cabins. The Col Trail sign will be a minute or two up the path.
