Trail head for Observation Hill Loop Trail
Went out last night and hiked around the Observation Hill Loop Trail. This is probably my favourite of the smaller trails here in McMurdo. The 9 mile Castle Rock loop is obviously much longer, but requires checking in and out with the Firehouse and the carrying of radios. It also is involves walking/running mostly on snow.

Looking up at Observation Hill's Peak. You can just
make out the Scott's Memorial wooden cross at the top
