| First trailhead for Garner coming up from Shoreline - cold fingers! |
We decided to brave the cold this December morning. Having been fairly warm the day before (by warm I mean it had almost hit 40 degrees) I figured we would be doing pretty well, but it was still pretty frigid this Saturday morning. Frost covered the cars as we left, and attempted to intimidate us into remaining in the warmth of our homes, yet we ventured out to the cold unknown.
We started at the Ogden Nature Center trailhead and went up the switchbacks, headed north on the Shoreline trail, and then took that first section that heads to Garner Canyon until we hit the sign indicating Garner Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon's directions.

It was pretty cold - despite my limited bundling though I kept pretty warm. The coldest part ended up being the fingers, which for me were fine until the ride down, but my poor dad's fingers were pretty numb before we had gone more than ten minutes. All in all though it was a pretty ride and we had the trail completely to ourselves (and the three deer we had to share it with, but they were pretty accommodating with getting out of our way). Come spring I want to see more of where the Garner Canyon trail goes.
