We are trying to start off this new year on a high note. There still is virtually no snow, but that makes us actually able to continue to hike with relative ease. There is ice, but without snow that makes it more challenging to climb any real elevation. So, for our January hike we chose an old standby in hiking to Poplar falls. It was a quite warm day, especially for the start of January so it made for an easy 4 miles. We had hot chocolate when we made it to the falls, which seems to be an effective carrot to get the kids more willing to get outside. We have hiked this path many times and rarely do we see more than 1 or 2 other groups. Today we were glad to have gotten an early start because there was a steady stream of people hiking in when we were on our way out. We finished the day at home with more games... a great start to 2021!
