Abbreviated Osha Trail Hike

Frosty at the Osha Trail head

We had to cut our Osha Trail hike a little short because the conditions were poor for hiking.  After climbing the initial leg--where other hikers had been already--we quickly ran out of footsteps to follow on the loop trail.  We managed to hike in an ATV track for about half an hour, but it was tough sledding.  Walking in a narrow track is extremely difficult.  There was over a foot of snow in the high country, so we decided against trailblazing in the untrammelled sections.  We had a good time, nonetheless.
