The weather was supposed to suck - Cloudy and Cold was the prediction but once again - luckily the weatherman was wrong! It was beautiful and "warmer than expected" and a great day to be out in the Park. The Valley is like church to me so a little spiritual uplift is always a good thing - the snow was aglow with sparking goodness .:-)
Mountain Biking
The trails were packed and super fun to ride. I ran it to Steve and Bill on the Blue (and later Mike B in the parking lot).
From Whitney, I rode the White and Blue south to the Serengeti but bailed after the Boardwalk/Bridge as the going got a little rough.

Hiking
I took a break/interlude for lunch and drove up to Newtown to snap a few photos for my upcoming Railroad History Presentation and then came back and hiked in from the Daniels Farm lot. None of these trails were "bike ready"...

On the Red - the twisted trees remind me of Middle Earth along this section.
Where are the hobbits? :-) |

The Descent to the stream on the Red sure looks a lot different with the thick blanket of snow! |

Damn - Time for a new pair of hiking boots! |
