Cathedral of Tall Trees in Snowy Woods
Today Karen and I hiked four miles on hillsides above Squilchuck State Park. After freezing rain on snow, it was too icy for snowshoes. We used micro-spikes that gave traction with no slipping.
I love hiking in the snowy woods. You can see who lives there. We saw tracks of snowshoe hare, fox and deer.
It was breathtaking to descend through a cathedral of tall trees. Patterns caught my eye, simplified by the snow.

I remember when I used to live in Sweden and it was winter, me on my cross country skis. Simply magnificent, kind of miss it when you talk about it.

I would move to Sweden or Norway if it wasn't so cold there.
@Wildflower That was one of the reasons why I left. These days when winter comes around I go to warmer shores.
I also love the woods in the winter. we had a possum and fox out at our house last night. Caught them on my trail camera.

Wow!
I have seen one fox, after hiking over 200 miles/year since age 21.
@LiterateHiker We see fox all the time. Very healthy animals here because of farming.
Wasn't me! I'll pass on that cold wet stuff!
@OpposingOpposum It’s not so bad if you dress for it.
@LiterateHiker I see lots on my outings here in Alberta all year long
