The previous night there was a snowstorm that ended with freezing rain, leaving a glistening coating of ice on all the trees. As the clouds cleared and the sun came out in the morning, a beautiful scene unfolded. I took the opportunity for a short hike in Kakiat prior to going to work and enjoy the scenery. I parked in the parking area, crossed the bridge over the Mahwah River, and then took the Old Mill Trail loop around back to the Kakiat Trail, and then back to my car.
