April 22 Hike to Low Gap & Snakeden Ridge





Another Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage hike. This one beginning in Cosby and heading up Low Gap Trail and down Snakeden Ridge Trail. I found the hike up tiring. We bobbed ahead and then behind several other hikers before reaching the gap. The ridge walk was very nice. There was an abundance of Spring Beauties, Trout Lilies, serviceberry with a dose of Frasier's Sedge, witch hobble, Squirrel Corn, Dutchman Britches and Fetterbush thrown in. We hiked a total of 12 1/2 miles.
