Today's hike is to finish off the section I couldn't complete on Saturday because I couldn't find the trail.
I had been trying to avoid parking at Hilton Falls Conservation Area, since reservations are for only 2 hours and I knew my previous hike would be 4 or 5 hours. Since I simply need to hike less than 3 km and then back again, I figure 2 hours will do it.
Even better, I have company - my friend M and her dog. It's been ages since we've hiked together. We had been joined by one of her kids when we hiked Silver Creek Conservation Area in the summer.
I choose not to wear my icers this time. This is a mistake. The snow has been packed down, melted, and then frozen again so it's all ice.
This is a short and sweet hike. The sun is out; I have good company; and we are back to our cars within the two-hour reservation time.
I had hoped we would have time to see Hilton Falls, but it's awfully people-y and we're out of time. Next time.
