Nice day on the Hill. Was mostly OT, but the trails I did take were clear. The Startup is still closed, but still very walkable. ;) From the top, I basically cut XC to the Viewpoint.
Sat on the backside for awhile, and watched a huge flock of ducks circling Temple Pond. I think they were spooked by someone's dog, and finally settled for Bald Hill Pond. (Good choice - but now they want to build a trail out there, too. Back in the day, the big complaint was that there weren't many trails. Now I think there are too many...)
All the mountains were out - some with a fresh coat of white. Wallace Falls was full. Still some color in the trees, but it won't last long. Most of the leaves have dropped. Heading back on the Midway, they totally covered the trail in places. And it's nice to see water in the ponds and creeks again.
As always, a great close-in destination for the winter months...

Must Hike Must Eat on Lord Hill Regional Park
Thank you for the reminder about being able to see the mountains from the Hill. Almost went out today but chose something just a bit closer to home. :)
