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.

Winter on the Webster-Jackson Trail

The winter of 2026 was great for hiking: sustained cold and lots of snow meant that the forests of the White Mountains were choked with snow and the snowshoe conditions were just about perfect. I took this photo on the Webster-Jackson trail about a mile below the summit of Mount Jackson. The trees were so heavily laden with snow and the snow level was so high on the ground that we felt like we were hiking through a tunnel.

A black and white photograph taken from the summit of Mount Avalon in Crawford Notch shows snow-laden evergreen trees in the foreground with a misty, forested valley visible below through low clouds.
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 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.
