Colorado Winter Hiking Trips

The only part that is sometimes challenging on a cold day is making sure the rear strap that goes around your heel locks into the cleat on the metal buckle used to tighten the straps around your heel.

I figured this was a good day to see how the MTN Snowshoes performed on trails that were snow packed and in off-trail situations that were a mixture of windblown and loose snow.

Yesterday kicked off the winter hiking series at our local Columbus Metro Parks. I have said it before but it is always worth repeating the Columbus Metro Parks are pure awesomeness. All year long they arrange fun stuff for families and it is usually free.
