A misty , mysterious morning greeted us in the Scotia Bank parking lot. Our seven hikers drove to the end of Milliken Mine Rd. Our goal was to hike the Jack Rabbit Trail.
Sometimes we had 30 meters or less on our drive along Hwy 108. That did not deter us! We decided to go without snowshoes as the snow was melting fast.
The going was slippery, wet and icy. We were careful going up and down hills as there were numerous exposed rocks and roots.
We checked out a side trail that led to the junction with the Firetower Lookout and the trail to Bruno's Trail.
Many of the hills had signs advising that only expert or advanced skiers should use them..for good reason!
Lunch was at the picnic table near the erratic.
We returned to Firetower Rd by way of the blue trail that crosses the transmission line.
We saw numerous deer tracks, startled a grouse and saw 2 downy woodpeckers.
A good day.
