A cold day on the trail

Heading back down the Volcan Mountain Trial in Julian California after a fresh snow fall.

 

I had almost made it to the top of the trail but the white out conditions where so bad, and the snow got so deep that I could not find the trail any more and had to turn around and trace my foot steps back through knee deep snow until I could find the trail and continue back down.

 

What I love about this shot is how different it looks from almost the exact same view I took a picture from on the way up when everything was in whiteout conditions. The clouds started to lift as I headed back down and I got a much different view of the trail then I had on the way up.
