Saturday we attempted to snowshoe up Hedgehog Mountain and Sunday we used StabilICERS on the trail to the summit of Rattlesnake Mountain, which has fine views over Squam Lake (completely frozen this time of year).We weren't breaking trail up Hedgehog, but it was definitely more work than bare-booting it. We decided to turn back after two hours of climbing up due to fear of frostbite on my toes, which had gone numb from the bitter cold. It was frankly difficult to keep my hands warm given the extreme cold. Thank goodness for hand warmers!
We got too late of a start on Sunday to finish the Rattlesnake Mountain loop, where we would have been breaking trail after the first summit. Views over Squam Lake (in photo) were beautiful!
