Jodie is out in NY on travel this weekend, so I took the dogs for a hike by myself. I worked Friday and Saturday and I had a lot of homework to do on Sunday, so I decided to go for a short hike. Welch and Dickey are a little over an hour from the house. I had heard about them being nice open peaks with a lot of views, and I’ve thought about hiking them for awhile. It turned out to be a great day for a hike.
It was a little cold when I started hiking at 8:30 am (34ºF according to my car). The dogs didn’t seem to mind though. They were very excited as usual. There was some ice on sections of the ledges that made going a little slow, but the views were great. There was even a little fresh snow to cap the surrounding peaks.
