A winter landscape photograph of New Hampshire's Southern Presidential Range at sunset, featuring deep snow drifts and frost-covered evergreen trees in the foreground, layered snow-covered mountain ridges in the middle ground, and the high peaks bathed in warm alpenglow orange and pink light against a clear blue sky.

Alpenglow Sunset on the Southern Presidential Range

I love the way the light is just barely catching on the snow covered pine trees at the top of Mount Jackson in this photo. The hike up Mount Jackson for sunset was one of my favorite adventures from the cold and snowy winter of 2026. My friend Dave Simms and I left the trailhead under cloudy skies but a few hours of hiking through the snow-buried forest brought us to the top of the southern Presidential Range and this stunning view of the alpenglow on the high peaks of Mounts Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower, and Pierce. The frosty trees, a favorite subject of mine in the winter, and the drifting snow that almost looked like waves rolling across the summit were the icing on the cake.
