Celia and I went snowshoeing at Alta today. What fun!Both beginners at this, we weren't sure what to expect. We need not have worried. As the man said to me at the sporting goods store, the difference between a beginner and an expert snowshoer is - 5 minutes.
Heading out with the third group of the day, we found the trail nicely packed and easy walking. Along the way our guides gave us lectures on trees, watershed, snow. and animals. And right on cue just as they were talking about and showing pictures of the little white ermine, one scampered across our path and up the mountainside.
After our little tromp in the snow, Celia and I stopped for a lovely lunch at the bottom of the canyon. We chatted away the time, examined the fish art on the walls, and finally realized the day was spent and we really should go home. And we did. I would judge this to be just about as perfect a day as they come!
