This part of the Bennett Hill wasn't too muddy. It was a quick assent up the mountain without snowshoes on.

Along the trail up top of Bennett Hill in the more open portion of the hill.

Bennett Hill still has some snow up top -- a few places with a foot or so of snow -- but those spots had 3-5 feet of snow on them, not that long ago.
