The Last Hike of the Year: Going Around and Around the Course
Three of us met at 4 B's restaurant and left Great Falls around 9:00 am and headed out of town and up the mountain. We arrived at Silvercrest at 10:30 am. as the lone car in the parking area. With blue skies , a slight breeze and a cool 16 degrees F. we began our trek around and AROUND the snowshoeing course navigating a total of 6 miles ( making more than 1 round-about for each loop).
At one point we lost track of the trail near a warming hut ( no printed maps available today at the sign in booth) so back tracked the new larger loop going uphill for what felt like an eternity!!! making it a real fat burner to say the least. Eventually we made it back to the parking lot while feeling like our snow shoes were stuck in cement for the last half mile! Whew!! What a great way to start the snow shoe season!! We topped off the glorious day at Bob's in Neihart for a late afternoon lunch and a Huckleberry treat . Delish!
We arrived back in town around 4 pm.
Those attending: Sue M., Anita G. and Cathy K.
