Today I hiked a trail in Eighteen Mile Creek Park, Hamburg, NY, for a total of 4.3 miles and 302 feet elevation gain.
The mud was completely frozen over. There was a light dusting of snow. The trail is icy in many spots, so be careful. The first creek was not quite frozen over but I managed to pass through with minimal water on my boots.
The ice flows are magnificent as you can see in the photos. I saw some men with big backpacks and plenty of rope but they were on South Creek Road itself, not in the park.
