March 15th 2014 Hike to Lion's Head on the AT in Connecticut







First Hike up to the AT, This is late March in Connecticut!  We decided to get an early start and went up to the Lion's head.  Instead of using the Short cut, we did the full AT from Route 41.

Our trip was a spring hiking, but the entire trail was covered with snow this late in the year.

When we were on the summit, we encountered "snail"  (our word for a combination of snow and hail),

A job for you!
