Happy New Year!
We brought in the new year with a snow hike in the Laguna Mountains about 50 miles south of us. We had a great time. We decided to hike to Garnet Peak on December 30th which he had hiked back in November but from a different starting point. We also wanted to avoid the holiday crowds so we got an early start. When we arrived the parking lot only had 3 cars and by the time we finished our hike there were at least 10 more cars. We parked at the Pioneer Mall Hiking trail and there are bathrooms and picnic tables. It was a 6 mile hike with 879 feet of elevation gain. We started and ended in snow which was really cool! It was a sunny day and gorgeous views. Zissou had no issues walking through the snow - he loved every minute of it. We were really happy to walk through the snow as well as it was a nice treat for us. Great way to end a funny year - surrounded by nature, sunshine and snow! We had a little picnic at the end enjoying the sun and watching birds.

| Walking back to the car. It did get a bit slushy but there was some nice powder. And for some cuteness watch Zissou walking through the snow. |
