Conner's Bay - Rams Head Trail - 2-12-2018

Looking across frozen Lake Champlain at Vermont from
the Conner's Bay trail. This photo was taken by
Kailee.

A guy at work recently suggested that Kailee and I check out the Ram's Head Trail at Point Au Roche. We took his advice and walked parts of that & the Conner's Bay trail on a beautiful Winter evening.

We started by the Nature Center at the park and followed the Bay Trail over an easy grade.

Mt Mansfield has a very Alpine appearance in the Winter.

As we neared Ram's Head, we went off trail and walked across the frozen bay. Ram's Head (a peninsula that looks like it's namesake) has a nice look out spot. We walked around the Head and decided to follow (and not step on) a cross country skier's tracks on the lake back to our starting point.

Looking towards the Adirondacks. I can see a few

mountains that we've climbed!

The trails offered nice views of Mt Mansfield, Camel's Hump & the Green Mountains of Vermont. Ram's Head itself gave us pleasant views of Poke-O-Moonshine, Whiteface and many of the Adirondacks.

The sky put on a nice display of colors during our 2.3 mile walk. Both trails are suitable for year round hikes!

Colors Abound!
