Spring Hiking with Poles
A great month of April has brought spring hiking to the Cape Breton Highlands earlier than expected. Spring hiking has its adventures – flowing streams, bridges out, windfalls, moose, wet trails and snow but who cares when it is 15 degrees out and sunny.
One of the most important pieces of equipment for spring hiking is trekking or nordic walking poles. You need poles to help with your balance crossing streams & bridges, going over windfalls, navigating wet trails as well going thru snow….There was still quite a bit of snow on Skyline – April 24 about halfway out it was clear.
Below are a few pictures of spring hiking in the highlands at Red Island, Plaster, Skyline and a few travelling to the trails & back… Enjoy the pics.
