First hike of the year from AMR.  We went for one of the further ones and did Sawteeth up and down the Weld trail.  Early start and up and down the lake road with no big issues.  I was getting a little tired with the fast pace, but I pulled through.  We crossed the river, stopped and looked at Rainbow Falls a bit, and then it was up the mountain.  Once you start climbing, it keeps going.  The trail was already broken out, and we just packed it down better.  The trail was smooth, and no rocks.  It was everything I like about winter hiking.  We got to the top, and passed over the steep scrambles that are so much fun to do in the summer.  We passed the peak to go to the viewpoint which is where the sign to head down is.  I pushed my pole down to see how deep it was, about 46 inches.  The hike out brought a few places where butt slides were called for.  Whee!!!!!

This makes 10/46 Winter peaks.
