Just now returned from a fantastic winter adventure in the White Mountains, NH. Perfect weather and trail conditions allowed me to hike a substantial loop up high -- first ascending to a summit, then hiking a section of the ridge (hiking up and over other peaks), and ending by descending from the last peak. A great day of hiking with amazing views! #FootpathFriday #snowshoeing #mountains

@TimKStanton that looks like an amazing trip Tim. Do you come across others on this route or is it relatively quiet?

@elperronegro
Yes, so amazing and thoroughly enjoyable, Richard. This was an unusual one-day weather window with a large high pressure system over the area with no wind, clear skies, and mild temps (but below freezing). Since this coincided with a holiday week, I had to “share”’ the mountain with others. But we were all stretched out over the 8.5 mile route (13.5km). Had a brief encounter with someone about once an hour, but otherwise was completely alone.

Indeed! I watched the weather forecast all week while eyeing this day. The weather calmed down for this one day before it kicked up again. -

I liked that winning hand you produced. Well done! -

@jerzone
Yeah, crazy how windy it gets up there. It was 30 mph (50 km/h) the last time I was up on the ridge. Couldn’t see to the other side of the summit. -
@TimKStanton Terrific sight and photo. And thanks for the great Alt Text.

Thank you! It was an amazing day up on the ridge. Beautiful views not only of distant mountains, but also of nearby features such as the cairns. I took pics of a number of these cairns— all with unique patterns of rime ice. -

I vaguely knew of 'rime frost', but not how it comes about. It was interesting to see and learn.
