| Trails: | Old Bridle Path |
| Distance: | 5.28 miles |
| Elevation gain: | 2454 feet |
I wanted to get out and see what things would be like in the winter so I bought
some crampons and went to Lafayette. I think I intended to go somewhere else, but
seeing Lafayette from the road made me change my mind. I got to the hut right at
my turnaround time so I did not make it to the summit. The weather probably would
have prevented that anyway.

I think this was the first time I took a day off from work to hike. I intended to
go up and down Gorge Brook, but I missed the turn right at the parking lot and ended
up on Asquam Ridge.

This hike was the day after a party at Warren’s house. We were going to do the
Tripyramids but decided against it as it got later. Neither of us felt very well,
but Lon started to feel better towards the end. I slipped and cut my head on a
stream crossing on the way down.

| Trails: | Lonesome Lake, Kinsman Ridge, Hi-Cannon, Lonesome Lake |
| Distance: | 5.88 miles |
| Elevation gain: | 2518 feet |
| People: | David, Lon, Soren |
We weren’t prepared at all for the amount of snow and ice left. None of us
had the right gear and Soren didn’t even have real boots. We missed the turn
onto the Hi-Cannon trail on the front side so we ended up going around to the
back (where it was even icier). We were planning on taking the tram down, but
it wasn’t running.

After this hike, we went to Yankee Smokehouse and split the Smokehouse Feast.
I think this was the first hike I ever did that involved snow. Also, getting
around the pipe was very difficult this first time, but it has gotten easier
every time since then.
