Stable-Ice It, Don't Criticize It!


A nice, fun, pleasant, mellow couple hours were spent walking some familiar landmarks, doing the always enjoyable and scenic Vernal Falls loop. This time it happens to be winter (with warm, sunny days) and certain parts of the trail are closed. Making our way up to Clark Point we found little snow until near the end of the switchbacks and only against the wall. From there we had to "stable-ice it" (a new verb, sung to the Peter Tosh tune, with the line "Even Rangers wear them") having put Stabilicers on our tennis shoes so we had little cleats to complete the circle down the Mist Trail steps. Today's postcard actually comes from today: a view from the trail, a look down a mountain, a good time. Enjoy.
