Guided Hike on Newly Groomed and Marked North Trails
/
As these pictures show, the guided hike on Saturday, September 22nd on the newly groomed and marked north trails was a bit damp, but with waterproof boots (or not), was a lovely adventure. We spotted lots of fungi, and our guide Bonnie Matuseski had a wealth of interesting information to share about the fungi — and about other nature-related subjects as well! Very much worth a little mud!

We currently have some of the best ski conditions we've seen in awhile on the island. The backyard trail is groomed and tracked and beautiful, but doesn't compare to the North End Trail. I was just out there to pack and track, and it is skiable and, barring a breakdown, will be groomed and tracked in nearly 20" of snow. Wanted to let mainland friends know, as it has been really rare in the past twenty years to have these great ski conditions and a beautiful ice road to boot!
