Little Concord Pond

Allison on Little Concord Pond

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.

Mount Washington

A sea of clouds in Pinkham Notch, from the Lion's Head

On Saturday, March 29, I climbed to the summit of Mount Washington via the Tuckerman Ravine and Lion's Head Trails.  The weather was excellent with sunny skies, moderate temperature and light winds.  As a result, there were many climbers enjoying the mountain with me.  But I got an early start, beating the crowds to reach the summit well before noon and finishing my climb by 2 p.m.  My round trip time to the summit and back was only 5 hours and 50 minutes, one of my best ever.
