Into the Great Unknown (30/52)

This past weekend, I went back to Avalanche Pass a second time with more of my family, and PBS producer Dan Swinton (for his first winter hike). The conditions and lighting were much less favorable, with plunging temperatures and brutal wind chill. I managed to get a few shots showing the intensity of the conditions, including this one of the snow sweeping across Avalanche Lake.

Avalanche Pass in the Adirondacks, a stunning mountain pass at 2885 ft elevation, sandwiched between thousand foot cliffs on either side. Taken from the SW end of Avalanche Lake, with Avalanche Mountain on the left and Mt Colden on the right.
