First Snow Run of the Year

Monday I left the Pine Hollow Trail Head as the gate to the Alpine Loop had been closed for the year. I went up two miles to the ridge trail. This goes up thru Salamander Flat.

Wallace my son's black lab dog accompanied me.

When you run in the winter and snow, it make a boring training run exciting again. The feet and lungs want to see what the next mountain will look like.
