There is hiking. Pull on your hiking boots and go. There is snowshoeing. Put your hiking boots in snowshoes and go. And then there is snow hiking. Snow hiking falls in between the other two. You wear water proof, very warm boots but now snowshoes and walk in snow that is only an inch or two deep. When there is only an inch or two of fresh powder, it means that the animals haven't hidden away from a storm but are still out doing their thing. And so we see the fresh and lively tracks.
A blog or two ago I wrote about seeing with Tessie's nose. This morning we had a delightful walk and saw many fresh tracks -- none of them big and bear like. A coyote running - one straight line of little prints going on and on. He stopped to sniff at a rabbit's track -- and only sniff I guess because the rabbit's tracks went straight across the trail and kept going so she must have gone past before the coyote came by.
It was a wonderful walk and as much fun for our eyes as for Tessie's nose ~ blessings
