Snowshoeing on the Bikepath in Ashton - January 5, 2018

It was an unbroken trail...

With 18’” of nice light powder on the ground, and all the rivers frozen, snowshoeing seemed to be the order of the day.  With a high temperature of 6°, gusty winds, and wind chills well below zero, the list of potential hiking partners was short.  Fortunately, Bill was game, so we met at noon at the Visitor Center on Route 295 in Lincoln. 

We headed down the bikepath until we reached the ridge above the Ashton Dan.  From there, we hiked down the ridge, and along the river to Route 295 before climbing back up the ridge on the way back to the visitor center.  We were out about an hour and a half, and hiked about mile – that was plenty. Lunch afterward at Jacky’s Galaxie in Cumberland was a nice reward.
