Snowshoe Clingmans Dome Road

I went snowshoeing up Clingmans Dome Road last Friday (Feb 19) with 30 inches of snow at Collins Gap.  That is as far as I made it.  I had a turn around time of 3:00 so I came back.  No problem!  I broke new snow to about Indian Gap and that is where I met Wendell Liemon, 75 years old, skiing by himself in my tracks. He was very appreciative of me breaking new snow! ha ha



Here is Indian Gap...


And here is a beautiful scene of the snow on the trees...


I met a group of 6 going to Mt Collins Shelter...it was 4:30 in the afternoon and they were at Indian Gap.  They still had over 3 miles to go and they were post-hole hiking. 

Beautiful day at the top of the world!
