Because it's that wintry time of year, with holidays coming on or already here, I thought I'd post a few photos from a recent hike up Water Canyon.

| Ice instead of water in the lower, rocky part of our hiking road/trail. |
 |
| A small crevasse or crack in the ice, scale in the next photo. |
 |
| Ice textures at one end of the crevasse, hiking pole for scale. |
 |
| Looking back toward the same general area. |
 |
| Closer view of the upper end of the icy road/trail. |
 |
| The creek crossing uphill from half-mile canyon. |
 |
| Small ice fall, with creek running below the ice, at the same creek crossing. |
The location linked to below points to the creek crossing below half-mile canyon. (We've marked certain landmarks on the way as 1-mile this, 2-mile that, etc., based on GPS mileage readings that change somewhat depending on the strength of our satellite connection or other, unknown variables.)

Gorgeous. I love the sound that kind of ice makes when you hike on it.
A lot of the ice was way too slippery to walk on, but the rest was nice and crunchy.
