Trip Report

It's always a gamble trying to schedule a winter trip as the weather and snow conditions can never be reliably predicted. For our December 5th snowshoe trip however we lucked upon the perfect weather and snow conditions. We parked at Ray Benson snowpark and made our way about 3 miles to Brandenburg shelter for our lunch and to take in the great views of Mt Washington and Three Fingered Jack plus to enjoy the sunshine. After making our way back to our vehicles we stopped off at Takoda's to celebrate our memorable day.
