Hats off to the Dixon Trail! An immense hiking challenge, even without snow on the ground. Lots of hidden gems along the route like lookouts and a memorial/landmark for a plane crash in the 1950s (wreckage is still there). I took Talon to North Talon to Dixon trails. Based on recent weather and the season, it was cold winds and slick mud along the start of Talon. Snow on the ground accumulated almost linearly as you go up. Not for the faint hearted, but one of the most challenging and rewarding hikes I've done!
