I absolutely love the way the scraggly high elevation pine trees in the White Mountains look when they are covered in rime ice and fresh snow. The winter of 2026 was cold and snowy and I went on a bunch of hikes surrounded by beautiful snowy frost covered trees. This sunset hike up Mount Jackson with my friend Dave Simms might have been my favorite, though. The Presidential Range was covered in clouds and visibility was zero when we left the parking lot. After a few hours of climbing through the snowy forest, however, we broke out of the trees onto the summit of Mount Jackson and were rewarded with this phenomenal view and beautiful pastel sunset.
