Peaked Mountain and Eagles Bluff (Clifton)

I did two hikes in Clifton today.

In the morning I hiked Peaked Mountain (aka Chick Hill) with friends.   The trail is a dirt cell tower service road that provides a good workout.   The trail was muddy and icy, and cleats were helpful at times.  There are excellent views from the summit.

Matty and I hiked Eagles Bluff in the afternoon.   I've hiked this trail many times, and have blogged about it previously, but it is such a beautiful trail offering views from the top of the bluff as well as the base of the cliff.  Today the combination of ice and mud made ascending and descending challenging but with ice cleats, hiking poles and lots of patients we managed well.
