The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO

On Saturday I headed up onto the Grand Mesa with Diane and Jackson to get in a little snowshoeing on the West Bench Trail. The temperature this afternoon was in the 40's, so hiking was very pleasant in a lightweight jacket. The Mesa doesn't appear to have received any fresh snow recently, so the trail was well-packed the entire time. It was a nice way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. Here are a few photos I took on our little hike.

I liked the spotlight on this little group of aspen trees.

I've only get my snow shoes out a few times each winter, but each time I do I really enjoy it.

Great photo's.
 
I can't wait for some fresh snow to head up to the hills. Great report.
