Slow to Moderate Pace MOD Hike - Traverse Ridge

HIKE 01/21/2018 MOD-

Due to all of the recent snow our adventure started a bit late due to the roads still needing to be cleared and non of the trail-heads were plowed. Once we were on our way we realized only one or two people had even ventured out to traverse ridge since it snowed. We had a mixture of dirt, slightly covered rocks and plants to deep snow drifts from the prevailing wind. Our goal was the gravel pit at the west end of traverse ridge however the strong wind gusts and very deep snow drifts were significant enough for us to decide to turn back. It was a fun day nonetheless!
