So on Sunday, a few of us headed out to Bragg Creek to hike Nihahi. As we drove, we noticed that there is so much snow in the mountains! A huge part of me is bummed that summer hiking is over; however, I’m super pumped for getting out just as much this winter. Traditionally, I’ve been low-key during the winter, but this year, I’m hoping for lots of winter walks, snowshoeing, nordic skiing and snowboarding. The 8 months with fly by in no time!
We made the last minute decision to hike Prairie Mountain instead. It’s generally a safe bet, snow or no snow, and it’s always guaranteed to have other hikers powering up the mountain. We made it to the top, enjoyed some lunch on the surprisingly windless summit, and then headed back down. Maybe it was the cold, but we were all exhausted afterwards. On this Thanksgiving weekend, I had so much to be thankful for. Among them, and I’ve said it before: I’m thankful for living so close to the mountains with the ability and capability to hike with people near and dear to me. 🙂
