Took a nice hike up to Blueberry Knoll with Bella today. It was really muddy on the bottom half, but fairly easy to bypass the worst spots and keep my feet dry. Bella, on the other hand, was a bit of a muddy mess. The top half still has a substantial amount of snow. But it's well packed from other hikers. I ended up having to attach my spikes to my shoes because it was very slippery and slushy. At least it was packed enough that I didn't have to do any post holing. We spent a few minutes on top having snacks and taking pictures, then did a slippery sliding hike back down. It's only about 3 miles round trip but has quite the elevation gain. I definitely got a good workout. The trail is interesting because it's a bit of an obstacle course of tree roots and huge rocks. I'm always happy to complete it without any trips and falls.
