As I was relaxing back at home I looked up at the mountain and knew she held a secret 
) So instead of settling in waiting to snooze I decided to hike to the top… it had snowed ever-s0 lightly and created a white Christmas up the top.

Wrong Path Best Adventure
Until today I would climb to the top tag the ground and go back the way I came. Feeling adventurous I thought it would be fun to get to the top and take in this case take the peak trail back down as I had not been on it since they refurbished the trail. I went up the Dead Chief to the Short Cut trail and ended up on top at the picnic area. took the path across the top and noticed there were two trail down. I was not sure which one I had emerged from on the day I first climbed up so I took the one closest to the cross walk.

Tufa Terrace Trail Squirrel
I had a lovely hike to the top and had not found the shot I wanted. Heading out of the park I decided to take an extended trail to the Promenade. Just when you think you might not have a chance at a great photo nature smiles your way.

Wildlife Promenade and Honeysuckle Trail
Short trip out this morning trying to build my strength so I can begin to hike to top on a regular basis. The Peak Trail is still closed for repairs and I struggle on the Dead Chief incline. Short Cut Trail is my nemesis, but will be my friend soon. Even though I am hiking in a limited area I manage a few shots of birds that I will have to identify later.
