Looks Can Be Deceiving


Becca on the Crosscut Trail
Today was the coldest day of winter so far--in terms of hiking.  The temperature was just above twenty degrees and there was a constant, biting wind.  It was so cold I almost decided to take no photographs, but what's a Desert Packrat blog post without images?  Surprisingly, there were other outdoor enthusiasts about, including two women with one dog each.  At one point I had to make Becca sit for a few minutes until the women hikers/dogs cleared out of the way.
