Spring Hiking – Red Island Trail
Like most hikers at this time of the year, it is hard to say no when the warm weather hits and its a beautiful day out there. Off we went to the Red Island trail, Indian Brook, on Cabot Trail. There was alot of discussion – will there be snow on the trail, can we cross the first brook and so on.
So as always you prepare for the worst – gaiters for the snow and streams, hiking poles for balance as you cross brooks and streams as well on the trail with snow and ice. Extra gloves, toque, warm clothing, extra food and more.
Well you guessed it – there was snow on the trail, it was cool in spots, didn’t have to cross streams or brooks flowing high, but there was ice on the trail and in the ponds. All in all it was a great day with plenty of sunshine and action on the beach with waves. Below are a few pics of the day…
