On a late Sunday afternoon, Tom and I headed off to hike Pinnell Mountain Trail, planning on a last minute overnighter. I have written about the Pinnell Mountain trail before.. and it is a fantastic hike, truly worth doing.
There was a bit of snow..
But nothing major, and most of the trail was snow free.
The trail is a bit wet, but nothing major for this early in the season.
The dogs had a great time, and enjoyed the mellow, relatively short day.
The sun set around 11:30pm, and it was beautiful. I want to come back and run or hike the trail in the evening, so I can get the full midnight sun experience.
BLM has improved both shelters, and they are in fantastic shape. We stayed at the shelter near mile 17…
In the morning we awoke to a near white out, which came and went for the rest of the hike.
The trail is well marked though, so we didn’t have issues following the trail.
I think by memorial day weekend the trail should be snow free. I hope everyone is enjoying the fantastic spring weather!
I have been neglecting the blog a bit… more coming soon!
