• How cold is too cold to hike?

  

  I am challenging my former ideas about this topic. I used to refuse to jog outside when it was 20°F or colder. That’s 20 above zero. Pretty wimpy for a Minnesotan. In Celsius it’s -7° which seems a bit more reasonable to stay indoors, but if I stick to that threshold for walking I’d need to put away my hiking boots for most of the winter.

• Rice Creek Trail North

  

  Found a trail that is new to me since I was last here. I was glad to have extra traction on my boots because it was icy. The oak branches are what captured my attention this time.

• Rice Creek West Regional Trail

  

  I am glad that this jewel of nature exists in this neighborhood that is a mix of residential and commercial land. It could use some attention to make it cleaner and safer, but at least parking is free.
