First snowshoe of 2012

We finally had enough good snow to go snowshoeing this year. We went up to Gatineau Park, in Québec. This pic was taken from the footbridge not far from the visitor centre parking lot in Chelsea. Click on the pics to enlarge them. 

We did trails 60 and 61. The conditions were ideal – sunny, fresh snow and not too windy. It was very cold though (-20C). It took a long time for our fingers to warm up.

Despite the few snowfalls we have had so far this year, there was fairly good snow coverage on the trails.

Fresh snow on trees is always worth a photograph!

Tea time!

As you can see, we were not the only ones there.
