What a beautiful way to learn to snowshoe! The winter wonderland of Greeley Ponds Trail in the White Mountains of NH after 10" of snowfall ...The stream crossings are challenging with snowshoes, since the wooden logs are only wide enough for one snowshoe. But most of them are traversable by avoiding the logs altogether and simply crossing the stream.
Only 18 degrees at trailhead, but it seemed colder than last weekend's Mt. Tecumseh trip due to the wind.
We met an adventurous threesome who had just summited Osceola's East Peak, which was tantalizingly close by! But a little too aggressive for me, especially given the type of snowshoes (recreational, not hiking).
6.2 miles, minimal elevation gain
Summit: East Peak of Mt. Osceola tantalizingly nearby
Route: Greeley Ponds Trail from Rte. 112
