It's always good to start the new year with a hike. I am sorry to miss the annual CMC New Year's Day hike, but hopefully will be up to it for next year. I originally planned a waterfall hike for today, but it required a water crossing, and it's just too bitter cold for that, so we ended up choosing a local hike.
We want to redline the Warren Wilson College trail system, so today we worked on a few trails that we haven't done before. We just tried to hit them as efficiently as possible - though there was some overlap with trails we've hiked before. Lots of people out hiking. This trail system would make a great location for the Carolina Mountain Club's leisure hike series. The trails are very easy. There are some pine tree groves in this section which are beautiful. It's nice to get some green color from pine trees & rhododendrons & fan clubmoss in the winter.
