The hike may also be a snow shoe trip or may be a kayak trip, but it will not be of our travels. If you wish to see our travel pictures visit us at:

Windy Pass

 

I’m thinking that I still may be snow shoeing on the fourth of July, assuming that it isn’t raining.  On a sunny day last week, I headed up over Nordic Pass, and down the hill towards windy pass. It was a beautiful day, the ski areas were closed, and the pass was empty.  I was probably more thrilled about that than the businesses.

Nordic Pass-1

 

There were fine views of towards Silver/Tinkham peaks to the west.  Not sure which.  I’ve never seen it from this direction.

Nordic Pass-2

and nice to the north of Mt. Kent, McClellan Butte and I think Bandera.

 

Nordic Pass-4

On my way to windy pass, I passed by Rockdale lake, but by here I was starting to get lazy.  The snow had been very slushy and tiring, so I sat down on my foam pad and took a rest.  There are no pictures of me resting, but I assure you that I did a most excellent job.

Nordic Pass-6

I went about another mile along a stream, but them I turned around and headed back to the car where a cold container of chocolate milk was waiting for me in the snow.
