Gold Mint Trail

It was snowing lightly at my house but I just had to get outside and do something.  I drove up to the Gold Mint Trail and hiked and ran in for a nice 5 miles round trip.  Mine was the only car in the parking lot and I was the only person on the trail. Most of the trail was snow-covered but it was well packed down from other hikers.  I did need my grippers to keep from sliding on the hills.  I loved the total quiet and peaceful feeling of walking alone through the snowstorm.  It was snowing but the snow was very light and the trail easy to follow so I knew there was no danger being out there alone.  I'm looking forward to skiing there in another month once there is enough snow for skiing.
