Fire tower first tracks

Looking for a hike to do on New Year's Day, I headed to the Luskville Falls trail. I decided to avoid the vortex on the Wolf trail that keeps sucking hikers to another dimension (and the parking lots along Meech lake are now closed). There is plenty of snow on the west side of the escarpment too and although it was a cold day it was not too bad once in the shelter of the woods. I was lucky enough to see a young deer at the first lookout enjoying the view (pic above). There is some damage in the forest on the upper parts of the trail but nothing that can't be avoided and in fact all the snow and ice in the trees looks real pretty. It was a fun ride down on my mini sled which used the hiker's trench like a luge run.

More snow please! And more pics
