Lonesome Lake
日本語は英語の後にあります(Japanese version is after English)
I forgot writing about this nice snow walk in Lonesome Lake area this winter. It was my favorite view in this winter season.
Lonesome lake is in the Franconia Notch in White Mountain, New Hampshire.
This was the beginning of winter season, so the snow was fresh. Snow was real powder I had never seen in New Hampshire. It was as good as Hokkaido powdery snow. (FYI: Hokkaido in Japan has a lot of snow and famous for their great powdery snow). The powdery snow on the every leaf of trees. The view was lovely.
The Lonesome lake is frozen and covered with snow as well. It was pretty. We walked around the lake. There is a hut along the lake and we had a break there. It would be nice to stay one night there. Some dogs were hiking in the snow. I always like happy doggies in the wilderness. In the snow they are extra excited! Very cute.
In New England, snow never stays powdery. Because it gets sometimes above freezing points, then gets -30C. So melted snow again gets frozen, but it is icy. Whole winter it repeats that cycle. It results in hard snow and ice. It is not very good and tough for hikers. However, it is what it is.
