Comments: First Day of Winter

Franconia Ridge Loop

Franconia Ridge
Windy and crisp just a smidge
Colder than the fridge

Spikes on at the lot
Falling waters frozen plot
To slip quite a lot

Dusted with fresh snow
And loose rocks moving below
Take careful steps slow

Crossing the River
Won’t make you have a quiver
Rock steps deliver

Steep trail nicely packed
Footprints of those before tracked
Cairns neatly stacked

In the alpine zone
Bare rocks with snow windblown
Leaves the plants alone
