Trails Hiked

Near Windy Point and tunnel.

Parking lot is closed for winter, but there is adequate parking right off the US 2.  Perfect winter conditions for hiking.  Did 10 mile loop starting at Scenic, the railroad grade, and both bypass trails at the east and west ends.  Fantastic views from the top.  Very little ice, slippery conditions.  Took about 4 hours at a leisurely pace.

1/2 mile tunnel, near windy point.
Snow shed retaining wall
View along the trail, near Windy Point.

Why do people think they need to spray paint. Time to go up and paint over and remove it.

Graffiti

I'm game to figure that one out! I've never done it, but willing to learn. I also hate the graffiti....especially in wild places!
