After the snow storm yesterday we could not wait to get out and go for a hike.  Buck is our new pup, he is a 7 month old lab/hound.  We got him in October and he has become Reba’s best friend.  Buck is still young so he can not go on long strenuous hikes yet.  So when we bring him we keep to the shorter trails.

I had planned on going to break trail at Little Sugarloaf, but the parking lot at Wellington was not plowed yet, so we went to Round Top another great short, local hike.

We where the first ones out on the trail today but the snow was light and fluffy so it was very easy going with snowshoes.  We started on New Chester Mountain Road where we found this interesting design in the snow made by a small rodent.

 

Then we continued on the Cabin Trail to the Stephens Trail to the summit of Little Round Top.

 

Since the hike is so short we went back down the Stephens Trail to the Greenan Trail back to the parking lot.  The pups spent a lot of the hike chasing squirrels and wrestling in the snow so they where ready for a nap!
