A heavily snow-laden forest on the Webster-Jackson Trail, where dense accumulations of snow completely envelop the trees and ground, transforming the scene into a surreal, almost sculptural landscape of rounded white forms with glimpses of bright sky visible through gaps in the canopy above.

Snow Packed Forest on the Webster-Jackson Trail

The winter of 2026 was an ideal time for hiking. The sustained cold and abundant snowfall transformed the forests of the White Mountains into a snow-covered wonderland, creating perfect snowshoe conditions. I captured this breathtaking moment on the Webster-Jackson trail, approximately a mile below the summit of Mount Jackson. The trees were laden with snow, and the snow level on the ground was so high that we felt like we were hiking through a tunnel.

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.
A sweeping dusk view of the Southern Presidential Range, with a vast snow-covered alpine foreground dotted with small frost-covered conifers giving way to forested slopes bathed in warm golden light, and Mount Washington's snow-capped summit rising prominently against a clear pale blue sky in the distance, with Mounts Pierce, Eisenhower, and Monroe also visible along the ridge.
A snow-covered trail junction on the Webster Cliff Trail features a wooden signpost with directional markers, surrounded by frost-laden evergreen trees, with a dramatic golden sunset illuminating billowing clouds over a snow-dusted mountain ridge in the background.
A black and white winter forest scene on the Webster-Jackson Trail, where a narrow footpath with faint boot tracks winds into a dense woodland of trees so heavily laden with snow that their branches droop dramatically under the weight, creating a hushed, enclosed tunnel effect.
