Ridge walk

I did a hike in the southern Taconics with Howie today. Parked at the trailhead on Route 344 and started up the Cedar Brook Trail. Eventually reached the Taconic trail and took that to Sunset Rock. A brief stop and then continued on to Prospect Hill. After a P&B break, we resume our trek all the way to the top of the ski slopes at Catmount ski area. There were skiers out enjoying the spring like conditions. Some were surprised to see a beagle on the slopes. I stayed out of the way and took a brief rest. Then, I retraced my steps, except took Taconic trail all the way back. A perfect blue bird day.
