My last hike was at a place in Ohio Called Great Seal. It was a pretty good walk about 7 miles and pretty nice hill to climb with a steep grade. What was your last hike?
Actually, it was pretty easy, except around the edges. It was still cold enough at night to leave the snow set up tight until in the afternoons. Around the edges, anything dark like a rock poking through would draw heat and melt a cavity. Step into one of those and you could go clear through, or worse, break a leg.Hiking in snow now that is a workout.
Hard to say how deep the snow was. Winter snow packs in tight. Early in the day, we would hardly leave prints and afternoon, less than 2inches of depth. We were in the Wind Rivers in Wyoming but it is the same in all the Northern High Country. I posted an album of the trip.Did about a short 7 or 8 mile hike in the Huachucas here in AZ.
Hiking in deep snow is a work out. How deep was your snow and where are you that there is still an amount of snow in late July!?
