So strange to look at my yard--- all snow gone and plants pushing through the soil--- and to think that there are still harsh winter conditions up there. Yeah, steep ice-- that was a trick ascending in some spots in only microspikes. Should have switched to crampons on the ascent. And, so glad I had them on getting back down. 😀 ❄️

It is still winter at higher elevations in the White Mountains, NH. Here is the view from the summit that I hiked up this time last year. Strong wind, heavy snowfall, and limited visibility. There had been many freeze/thaw cycles before this hike, leaving an icy base with fresh powder on top. I ascended to the summit with only microspikes on, but used crampons for much of the descent. A great adventure! #MountainMonday #hiking #photography

Wow-- it wasn't that long ago that this lake and the ones near it were frozen solid and I was snowshoeing through the surrounding forest on a deep layer of snow. Even snowshoed a bit on one of the lakes. Spring has definitely arrived here-- had a nice hike today in this forest, looping around this lake. A great day to be out! #hiking #nature #photography

It was a glorious day today on Cape Cod. Blue sky, gentle wind, and moderate temps. Took a nice walk along the ocean out to a point. Gloves off! 😀 #CapeCod #ocean #beach

It is interesting that we all like to go up to a summit for the great views. But then, in these conditions where the visibility is severely limited, it is a different special experience. It becomes mysterious and magical being up there where you can only see nearby features.
Hope your lungs held up on the ascent!
