King's Hill to Silver Crest, Jan. 15, 2017

Fun Day Trying a New Trail in the King's Hill Area

Picture
We decided to try something different from our usual snowshoe hikes in the Porphyry area. We have been to the top of Porphyry and back down. We have climbed to the top and over the other side to then follow the cat track back. We have gone part way up and then cut down to the Powerline on the O'Brien Creek trail, looping back to the cars. But this time, we followed the Powerline trail but didn't follow the Powerline up the hill to the highway. Instead, we continued across the field until we hit the cat track for snowmobiles and followed it out to the Silver Crest parking lot.

To do this hike, we left a car at Silver Crest on the way up to the top of King's Hill Pass. The hike is about five miles with uphill at the beginning; but then it is downhill all of the way, unlike the Powerline, which requires some steep climbing right at the end of the hike.

We did like this new trail; however, if there are quite a few snowmobiles, the fumes could be obnoxious. We were passed by only five and that was a bit stinky.  And most of the trail was broken, thanks to the gals who had gone two days before on Friday.

On a side note, we were passed closely by one snowmobile, with a young rider. When we got to the parking lot, the father apologized for his son getting so close. He explained his son was only four years old and just learning how to drive a sled. We were a bit shocked at how young he was to be on a sled by himself.

After our hike, we headed to Bob's Bar in Neihart to have sweet potato fries and huckleberry creams.

Who went: Cathy, Anita, Bonnie and Katie
