Cameraman here.
I was wanting to try a new route that I hadn’t done before heading up to Lucky Peak (Shaw Mountain).
However, this hike would take place in the winter time, when there was plenty of snow on the trail. I decided to leave behind my snowshoes for this hike.
The hike is approximately 8 miles and without snow there are several shortcuts you can take to cut it down. Sadly, I tried one shortcut and ended up in snow to my waist. I could have kept going but felt it was better to get back on the established trail.
Unfortunately, my bad luck didn’t end there as the weather began to turn and a trail I had been following ended up being a false summit. It was at that time that I felt it was safer to turn around, despite being so close to my goal.
The mountains will always be there to conquer another day.
