Forest Road 1830

I had spent quite a while up in the Fall Creek area last summer. When I was up there in the forest roads I had happened across an unmarked trail that I’ve been wanting to check out ever since I found it. I hopped in the car and headed out.

Passed this spot where there was a forest fire. For some reason this spot is always photogenic.

As I headed up Forest Road 1830 I could go no further. The snow was too deep to continue and I was too far from the trailhead. I decided to do some hiking thru the snow instead.

This area was dull and uninteresting in the summertime, but with all the snow the slash piles actually looked kinda cool.

Huff, puff, almost there!

I knew this overlook wasn’t too far from where I parked. Looked completely different covered in snow.

Hiking through knee high snow in rubber boots really wears you out fast!

The view up there was beautiful. The hills were lightly dusted with snow.

As I was headed back down I spotted this giant ant crawling inside one of my bootprints in the snow.

I headed further up Fall Creek Road to where the pavement ends. There was snow and ice everywhere up here.
