Although it was even colder today than yesterday we decided to go for one more hike. It wasn't raining or snowing, just cold. We chose the "Glenwild Loop", which is just a mile or so east from the outlet mall. The trail head was easy to find. We started at about 10:30. The trail was initially very nice: dry, not very rocky and only slightly ascending. After about one mile it became steeper and another two miles later we were at the top of the hill. From there the trail became very muddy and there were several spots where the snow had not melted yet. In the beginning we saw ourselves running this trail when we come back in the summer, but we soon realized, that the trail is too rocky and treacherous to run it. The last third of the hike went along a little creek, over wooden bridges and along sage brush - really very pretty. We arrived the car about 2 1/2 hours later, both really cold. We decided to postpone our shopping spree and went to the Good Earth Store instead, where we found delicious trail mix and some milk. At home we jumped into the hottub to warm up. It felt very good! Now Bill is on his way to pick up Hanna and David. I can't wait to hear how Hanna liked Space camp!
