We only got six inches of snow from the “big storm”, but it was enough to get in a little snowshoeing. Mechel used my old Readfeathers, and Baila used the youth Atlas snowshoes. Unlike last year, Baila did the whole two hour hike. We started out on an old rail bed:
…then bushwhacked [...] We got a foot or so of snow, so I took Baila snowshoeing: Go Baila!
Baila was quite a trooper, but after 100 yards or so she was tired, so we went home and I brought Mechel back:
We were walking on an old [...] This winter has been a little strange. We had our only real snowfall this year, so I decided to go snowshoeing. Since I was by myself, I decided to do a known route, so I re-hiked the Bulsontown-Timp route I did two years ago. This wake of Turkey Vultures were at the saddle below [...] Snowshoeing Monday in Tallman Mountain State Park:
Here are some pictures from Sunday’s Harriman snowshoeing adventure:
Jason and I decided that last year’s snowshoeing went so well that we would try it again. I found a good looking hike online. We met up around 8:30am. After a while, we found an abandoned mine shaft. The pipe was used to pump water out the mine. How deep is the shaft? Jason commited the catastrophic [...] Jason and I went snowshoeing today. The cloud ceiling was at about 1000 feet, and the weather was bad enough that the GPS didn’t work. I think we hiked 4 to 5 miles. From the Tuxedo train station, we hiked up the Ramapo-Dunderburg trail to Black Ash pond. The west end of the [...] This morning I went snowshoeing with Rob and Jason. Here’s the map and elevation profile: Reading from left to right, the hike up is the first section, the hike up, onto, and off the Timp is the second section, and the hike down is the last two sections. The hike we attempted was from Bulsontown (which seems [...] After the Sunday snowshoeing adventure, I bought a pair of real snowshoes. And my boots don’t fit (turns out that, as you get older, your arch flattens out, making your feet effectively longer.) At least, that’s what the 17-year-old boot guy told me. “Not that you’re old,” he said. Thanks kid, I’m only twenty- Never mind. Anyway, I bought [...] We had quite a storm this weekend – by the time it was over we had 8-10 inches of snow. I decided to go snowshoeing, but there weren’t any snoeshoes left to rent at EMS, so Trish picked up a $20 pair of plastic-tennis-racket snoeshoes for me. They fell off a half dozen or so [...] |
