The Mt. Washington Auto Road is now open to treeline, but the Road Crew is still hard at work opening the rest of the Road. For the details, check out the Road Blog.

Ski with a Naturalist

Every Sunday at Great Glen

For a different view of the scene at Great Glen come on out on Sunday mornings and join an AMC naturalist for a ski tour of the trails. It's interesting to see what the new snow reveals in the way of animal activity and what differences there are between when the temperatures are really cold and when they're just chilly. Can you identify this guy:

Tours leave the lodge at 10:30 and last for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Free with a trail pass. - Howie

Synchronized snow snakes?

Is it a one legged skier hopping back to the lodge dragging his broken ski?

Well, I was hoping that someone could identify this one - I'm really not sure what it is I took this photo of. My best guess is a porcupine with it's waddling gait. I'll have to show it to Nicky this Sunday and see what she thinks.
