Our second hike this year and it looks like were headed into snow. I have been to Wallace Falls many times but this time we decided to take the Greg Ball trail up to Wallace Lake. We were surprised to find about 5 inches of snow on the ground at the trail head. The trail looked so beautiful, a winter wonderland. I was really glad I brought my poles as I didn't wear snow shoes or traction devices just my boots. We started out along the trail that runs along the river. After a mile or so we switched over to the rail road grade trail. This was a bit easier going in the snow. As we hiked it snowed harder, got deeper and deeper. What a work out lifting those legs high enough to drudge through the snow. For me its worth every second of hard work for all the beautiful scenery. We even saw a woodpecker with a red head! The trail was so heavy with snow that once we made it to the lake entrance we took some pictures had a snack and headed back so we wouldn't get too cold. For all of you that have not tried this hike in the snow you should. Can't wait for the next adventure!
