-5°F Winter Hike at Stoney Run County Park | Frozen Nature Trail Loop in Indiana

Описание: I arrived at Stoney Run County Park before sunrise on a -5 ºF (-21 ºC) winter morning, waiting for the gates to open and adjusting plans once I realized access would limit how much of the park I could hike.

In this short winter hike, I explore the Nature Trail loop in Hebron, navigating icy bridges, unmarked trail junctions, and frozen creek crossings, all while trying to film with exposed fingers in subzero temperatures. Along the way, I test cold-weather layering in real conditions and ultimately realize I’m overdressed.
