Twilight Seymour Snowshoe

Martina writes:-

Nine of us met up at Seymour Mountain at 4:30. The plan was to snowshoe up to the first peak. Midway up the trail dark rolling clouds started to move in with the wind picking up along with icy snow coming down sideways on us.

We decided to turn around at Brockton Point as the visibility was deteriorating. We found a spot lower down to have our dinner which was out of the wind.

Dave surprised us all with some warm mulled wine. One the way down we took the First Lake Trail back to the parking lot.

See the route and some pictures here from Iain’s Garmin GPSMAP66sr. More images at the Trip Photo Gallery
