Snowshoeing by Woods on a Snowy Afternoon

[With an apology to Robert Frost just in case anyone gets the reference....]

Since it won't stop snowing (another several cm last night), we decided to give the new snowshoes a workout. So, a quick drive down to Ainsworth to hike the Cedar Creek Trail.

The woods were certainly snowy, dark and deep, but we had only a couple of km to hike, going past the circa late 1800s early 1900s Historical Cemetery, down into Cedar Creek canyon and through the woods back to the highway.

Only deer had traveled this way recently. The snowshoes performed very well. A good afternoon's activity.
