Bennett Ridge

6 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •

It was nice out today. A bit shorter of a trip than planned due to a late start and bad roads taking up more time than expected. About 20º out, but breaking trail kept the cold in check. The snow was powdery and just a little sinky.

I ended up turning around at the terrible traverse—the snow looked fine, and the avalanche forecast was okay, but because I was by myself I didn't want to chance it. Pastrami sandwich for lunch.

Hoping to get around to Badger Lake next time around.
