We started off carrying our snowshoes since wearing snowshoes is only energy efficient when you truly need them, otherwise it’s just a lot of effort. Shortly after this photo @toesalad put in his snowshoes.
My first hike with @toeslad since getting off the long trail in September.

To reach this Rogart Mountain trail, Google maps directed me down Kemptown Road, a dirt road which wouldn't have been my first choice. But it turned out for the best. Good driving conditions and en route passed a parking lot with info sign for the remote 13K wilderness part of the Gully Lake Trail system - where I will hike another day!! https://www.sugarmoon.ca/hike/trail-maps/
