Plot Road to Hogback Road

Last Sunday was one of the best days of the winter! It was sunny and, while it started out cold, it warmed up to the mid 20s (F).

We snowshoed the Long Trail south from the Plot Road to the Hogback Road, about four miles. There were ten people in our group. We stopped at Roundtop Shelter to enjoy a little hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps:

Elevation at the shelter is 1650'. This was nearly the highest point on the hike.

We found a number of pretty ice formations:

Here's most of the crew at Prospect Rock:

Almost at the end of the hike, this view is looking steeply downhill at the Hogback Road and the Lamoille River:

We saw many deer tracks throughout the day but especially between Prospect Rock and the Hogback Road. Didn't see any deer, though.
