On Monday morning, four of us walked through about 8-10" of snow, not far from Barbara's house. As you can see, it wasn't difficult. It was beautiful, sunny, brisk, and something of a workout of 2.2 miles. We were out for less than two hours. Barb and Lloyd refreshed us at their lovely perch on the rocks.
With the recent and the coming snows, we will probably "glide across the white stuff" every Monday. We can start at the South Fork Visitor Center at 9 a.m. (for a couple more weeks--then start at 10 after Christmas).
We hope to see a good number of visitors for the next three or four Mondays. Bring your guests. Wear warm foot coverings. A snack, some water, and a camera are all worth having.
You will find that perspiration can occur even at 0ยบ F, so layers work well.
I think you can rent snowshoes and poles in three places in South Fork. I have a little pair for a trim, fine-footed person.
