Walking the Tracks

Even when there’s snow, there’s still a lot of color in the landscape. I regularly walked railroad tracks for my Sunday hike, a day when few if any trains ran. They’re not too different from other established trails and are kept clear, and the views are interesting, going past the backs of everything, and even […]

We’ve had some good snows for so early in the season but trains can easily navigate leaving graceful curves in the snow.
