White Mts In Winter

WHITE MTS IN WINTER : hikes and overnights in the Whites ~ (59) images

I just did a variation on one of my favorite winter hikes in August. I realized almost right away that summer around here is nothing compared to the beauty and dare I say ease of travel that winter offers in the White Mts. The range gets bigger, the crowds thin out and the rewards are larger. Gone is the rock hopping and humidty, the bugs and limited views. The wind becomes a factor, but if you're patient there are more than a few bluebird days up in the alpine where the sun shines calmly and the low sun warms up the vistas. Weekends can be busy, but there are more than a few places to go where you have it all to yourself.
