Winter hiking at Trout Brook Reservation

Webelos from Pack 70 and Boy Scouts from Troop 70 did a great job on Sunday, March 16 hiking the Blue, White and Red Trails at the Trout Brook Reservation 
The sun was shining but all the ice and snow still on the ground made for some exciting slips and slides, as well as a few adventures when crossing bridges and streams.
 
Akela Sal gave the Scouts some lessons in dendrochronology (the study of tree rings.)

Everyone hiked over four miles then the Boy Scouts went that extra mile, literally, to get up to five.
