Went out with the snowshoes in the foot or so of snow we got yesterday. Nothing huge, just up and down the auto road. The fire tower at the top was being photogenic, so I obliged.
There was a lot of ice up there. Footing was fine, though.
I’m a bit jazzed that these came out well with no cleaning up afterward whatsoever. Some days I get lucky, and the photo gods smile at me.
Hoping I can make it up to the Whites this weekend. Plan is to do Passaconaway and Whiteface. We’ll see what happens.
Nature will do what nature will do. Sometimes it’s a blessing in disguise when you don’t go out.
How do you describe perfection? Maybe start with things that are more fundamental. Like a three day hike. Golden sunsets. Stars like diamonds.
A year later and I find Mt Carrigain is no less strenuous. But on a clear day, the view stretches for miles, and takes in nearly all of the four thousand footers.
Adams is a great hike when done on its own. It’s steep and rocky, but patience wins the day, and perhaps even the best view in the Whites.
