19 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •

I was getting a little tired of the ever-present wetness, so I headed east to escape it. Swale Canyon's converted rail-to-trail offering was the perfect antidote. It was like hiking in summer again, only with long johns on! The creek was still covered in a thin sheet of ice, and the wind was a constant 20-30mph producing a well-below freezing chill in the air, as I started out at about 10:30am. Hiked nearly ten miles along an almost flat, extremely rocky, trail before turning around to head back. Great day!
