Photo Of The Day By John Welch

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Presidential Range in Winter After Snowstorm” by John Welch. Location: New Hampshire.

“Fierce cold (-5 degrees air, -30 windchill) and winds on Mt. Pierce created a beautiful landscape of snowdrifts on the trail near the junction of the Crawford Path and Webster Cliff Trail (also part of the Appalachian Trail),” explains Welch. “It was special to break trail up Crawford Path to Mt. Pierce and see the delicate drifts on the trail with nice reflected morning light before anyone else had gotten there. Mt. Washington and the rest of the Presidential Range is in the distance.”
