I was out for a walk/run above town today. It is still January! Small ice chunks were floating down the Arkansas River as I crossed the F Street Bridge at downtown's edge. (See photo)
I often run to the top of the "S" but today the small peaks east of Tenderfoot Mountain beckoned. Further along, the mostly snowpacked road/trail was quite peaceful. Couldn't hear noise from town.
About an hour up from the bridge, the road divided and became less snowpacked. Electing to post hole for a bit, I chose the right fork. After attaining the next rise, figuring snowshoes would be a better option past this point, I decided to retreat. I snapped a few photos of the valley below as I descended. I can't wait to go higher! :)
