Today, a quick scouting hike at the south end of Winsor Ridge. Part Trail #171 and part cross country. Quite dry, NOT where I'm taking visitors SnowHiking, but it was delightful. Parking at Cowles Ponds, it's the end of the road up from Pecos, with 3 typical winter road closures: Jack's Creek campground, Winsor Creek trailhead, and Panchuela campground.
