The summit is not a difficult hike. It is about two hours round trip. Many people wore snowshoes but we managed it without them. There were a few slippery moments but nothing too bad. It had snowed the night before and everything was coated with fresh powder.
Tomorrow: The view from the summit.

It’s so much fun walking on fresh snow.
My pleasure. Cheers
So pretty. You can hear the quiet in your photos. Very beautiful, Chris.
Thank you, Lois. It was so quiet in the forest. The snow absorbs all the sound.
Lovely shots of a beautiful place … the hushed monochrome makes for a magical sight.
Thank you. I think that BW is the way to go with winter images unless you have a splash of color someplace in the image. Cheers
Agreed and on that ok loved the splash of yellow and the pops of colours on the walkers shoes in the first ….
Quite an achievement and the photos are just gorgeous. Thanks for the view☺
Oh, wait until you see the view from the top! Thanks Garfield.
Ohh there’s more to come? I eagerly look forward to tomorrow’s post.😊
Really love that devastated feeling of loneliness so beautifully accentuated with the b/w in your shots. The last one is my favourite, though I had to smile a little at the sign forbidding camping – nothing anyone would do there in this kind of weather I imagine. 😂 But in summer I guess it would be lovely!
Actually, as we headed into the forest, we met a man with a full pack planning to spend the night someplace in the mountains that night. I can’t even imagine.
Bbrrr! Maybe he was training for climbing Mount Everest one day?
Snow and woods. Great walk combination! 😊
I totally agree. Thanks. Cheers
Now that is what I call being dedicated to hiking!
This trail is actually considered easy and something good if you have kids or a dog.
Or if you aren’t the best hiker around? 🙂
Yeah, that was our category. My friend is from China and he had never hiked in snow before. But he was like running up the trail. 😛
So pretty …nice adventure i think…
Thanks for sharing Chris !
Thank you, Sohair. Tomorrow, I’ll show the view from the summit.
Great..I am sure it will be unique as always ..
Cheers☺
enjoy…a room without a roof is the best! 😀 smiles hedy
