Hello, hello!

The sun has finally cracked the grey clouds overhead and the snow is starting to melt. Needless to say we're happy! Now once the mud dries up a bit, we'll be ready to don the hiking boots again. Whether you're snowshoeing (that's us), trail running (that's us with icers on our runners) or hiking (that's gonna be us soon!), good snacks are always important. Munch away with the latest article from the Hiking & Backpacking site at BellaOnline.com.
