On March 14, Allison and I took advantage of a sunny day and a lot of fresh new snow to enjoy some snowshoeing in Maine's Oxford Hills. For our destination we chose Little Concord Pond, a small mountain pond which feels very remote but is only about 1 1/2 hours from Portland.
The Bald Mountain Trail
To reach the pond, we followed the first section of the Bald Mountain Trail. Although this portion of the trail (following an old woods road) is level and clear, we got a good workout breaking trail through the deep soft snow! After reaching the frozen pond we crossed to its far side, taking in the views of Bald Mountain and the nearby wind farm development on Spruce Mountain.
