Snow hike in the Less Hills

Post by Brad »

Back in early December I went on a couple mile Snow Hike in the Loess Hills.

Good video. I don’t get over there much anymore. I used to go there for work sometimes, Glenwood, Pisgah and Soldier areas. The area is fun to just drive around and take in the scenery.

Looks amazing. I always want to do this, but with 3 little kids at home it is hard to get going sometimes.

Sure is. I really like the Preparation Canyon area around Pisgah, but I don't get up there as much these days with the little kids.

It was great. I took my 3 year old up there last fall when it was dry and he did ok. Little warn out by then and of the 2 miles. I don't think he could make it nearly as far in the snow.

I think I’ll wait until the temps are a little warmer to go. But it would be great to see it when the trees are just beginning to leaf-out. Nice video!

Also, it’s spelled “Loess”, correct? My father-in-law is a soil scientist. He pronounces it as “Luss.”
He said "They are some big, ugly red brick buildings"
...and then they were gone.

The spelling is Loess, but it is pronounced "Luss"... you're correct.
