Plenty of snow on the route to Ben Lomond Peak still. It’s a fun time to practice using crampons and an ice ax (if you are new to these, take someone who can teach you how to use them) ❄️

Antelope Island is Heavenly right now. On a cool crisp morning the sun comes up and the snow is all around but the trails are easy to jog and hike on. This day, there was no ice. The trails are mostly dirt now and the places with a bit of snow just had a little so we did not need shoe spikes, just regular trail shoes for traction. This picture is from Elephant Head and we explored trails on this side of the island. I think Frary Peak still has a lot of deep snow, so you would need gear if you go that route.

This is a great season to get to FraryPeak on Antelope Island. It’s about 8 miles total and 2100 elevation gain for this hike. ...completely stunning views, and the buffalo are pretty interesting too 🍂🍂
