Today’s NCT hike. Got in a late afternoon 5miler. Beautiful weather day!! 45deg and not a cloud in the sky!! Few slick spots but not too bad!!
I do most of my hikes on different sections of the NCT because the trails are in excellent shape.
Trailheads are anywhere from 1-2hr one way drive from my home.

I typically wait until the warmer months, but I just had to get out today. Just a little over 5 miles and only up to right above a couple of thousand feet, but one that's not still buried in snow. Still, icy and snowy enough to require spikes from the halfway point on up. I wasn't able to get many knife pics, as the winds at the peak were gusting around 50mph or so. I'm really itching for the spring thaw and summer hiking season, but this was enough to get my fix for now (honestly I prefer being back home in FL kayaking this time of year). A great day nonetheless, my son even skipped school to join me since the wifey is out of town 🤫

Same here in northeast Ohio, but that's the perfect hiking weather for me. Fewer people makes hiking much more enjoyable in my opinion.

There's nothing worse than to hear the breeze through the leaves, the running water of a nearby stream, the chirping of birds and playing of squirrels and chipmunks, only to be ruined by the annoying squawking of some oblivious stooge on their cellphone.

I am with you there!! I do most of my hiking during the week to avoid people!! 🤨😂😮
The wife works during the week so we try to get to less used trails when she goes. Otherwise I don’t do weekends. 🤔😂😂
