The trail loops back on itself, turned by a thick stand of pines. Cottages cluster to either side, their roofs carpeted with a thick mantle of long needles. Drifts of snow rise on either side of the trail, and a deep bank is piled up at the start of the heavy forest, as if the precipitation is trying to invade the rough-barked shield wall of the woods.
