Campbell Creek Science Center Trails

What a gorgeous snowy St. Patty's Day mornin'. All told we received about half a foot of fresh powder over the night and into the morning. As we were winding down our hike the snow stopped and the sun was fighting its way through the clouds as we lingered chatting with each other near our cars.
