Today I climbed the Curry Mountain Trail. It leaves Metcalf Bottoms and climbs 3.3 miles were it meets the Meigs Mountain trail. That it where last week's hike left off. The trail begins with a steep climb, and never really stops the entire way. It was a long and challenging climb, followed by a long decent. Both were good practice.
The day began with cold frozen ground mixed with swollen water ripoffs. As the elevation increase there was more and more snow on the ground. By the top of the climb, the ground and trail were covered with snow. As the day warmed and we headed down, the snow turn into slush and then mud. Altogether, it was a good choice for a training hike with full pack.
