Our small group of four set out on an early morning TBA hike, with Nikki and Brian taking the lead and as our un-official Hike leader and Sweep. Mara and I focused on capturing the moments with our cameras as we explored Sheriff Creek.
The day began with a chill in the air and a blanket of clouds overhead. We donned our snowshoes and started along the open berm, feeling the wind's cold touch. However, as we ventured into the forest, the trees provided some welcome relief from the wind, and the atmosphere became tranquil.
Skirting the bird watch stations, we made our way thru the forest along the powdery snow taking in the serene surroundings. Along the way, we had the pleasure of running into Orval and Bonnie, and we enjoyed a brief chat with them.
As we continued, the sun began to break through the clouds, revealing a clear blue sky. The snow-covered landscape sparkled in the sunlight, and we found ourselves appreciating the quiet beauty of the forest that surrounded us, everything was photo worthy!
Our hike lasted just under two hours, covering a little over three kilometers. It was a peaceful and refreshing morning, and by the time we returned to the truck, we felt a sense of contentment and appreciation for the natural beauty around us.
