• Herd-path is a smooth and well-packed gutter running from valley to summit(s).

• Off-trail snow is knee-deep and soft.

• It was a cold day; -20 C (-4 F).

• Clear skies above Street and Nye but central High Peaks were obscured.

• Hiked with Duncan and Marissa; great hiking partners! Thank you both for an enjoyable day in the mountains!

• Met 'Hear the Footsteps' and 'GRT'. Nice to see you again folks! Last time we met was near Little Haystack.

• It was my sixth trip to Street and Nye. One peak left for my sixth round.

• Approximately 8.5 miles, 2800', 6 hours.

A cold, crisp day in the mountains.
