A friend and I decided to hike this trail during the first cold snap of December. It has been a long time since I hiked in freezing weather, but I was able to find enough clothes to keep warm, as long as I was moving, anyway. The 4 mile long trail was very pleasant to hike. All the muddy spots were frozen enough to not get wet. The previous day there had been a few inches of snow, which made the upper end of the trail very beautiful. There were about ten trees across the trail between 2 and 3 miles in. The largest tree was three feet in diameter. Please send in the volunteer tree cutters with a misery whip. The nice thing about hiking in freezing weather was that while we encountered spider webs, there were no bugs at all. We only saw one animal, a very little fluffy bird.
