Dog Mtn Winter Climb

Dog Mountain Winter Climb
The trail where photos were taken is colored red.
I started taking photos when the snow got fairly deep
To climb Dog Mtn in the winter is a blast - but BE CAREFUL - slipping isnt fun!
The branches are heavy with fresh snow
Here is the junction to Dog Mtn - Remember, straight ahead goes to Augspurger Mtn
The snow really gets deep now
Some other soul had been up here the same day
Of course it is not as deep beneath the trees
Just keep away from the edge
The wind up here causes some interesting displays
Low branch ahead
The switchbacks just before you come to the open area
The deeper the snow the better the traction
However, dont go near the edge - no traction there, just the bottom of the mountain
A look back
I only went around the corner - no further - too deep - too dangerous
