Last Taste of Winter

Earlier this week, a hike up the Tioga trail on Elk Mountain gave us a chance to taste the past Winter one last time.

A few snow patches remained on the trail, melting quickly, turning the trail below to nice, cool, watery mud.

The border between Winter snow, and Spring mud presented a perfect place to lap a few licks of the last of the snow, while soothing belly and paws heated up by the exertion of hiking  uphill.
