One of my favorite cold weather activities is hiking. Fortunately, we have an abundance of trails in Maine but I don’t always blog about every hike that we take. So, for today’s challenge post, I’m sharing pictures from four different hikes we took this past winter.
Have you ever played Scattegories? It’s one of my favorite games. The basic premise is that you roll a letter dice, and then you have to think of words that begin with that letter for various categories . If you come up with multiple words that start with that letter for a category, you get extra points. This post gets extra points since the name of three of the four trails that we hiked also begin with the letter F.
Do you enjoy hiking in the winter? Do you have a favorite hiking spot?

I’m participating in a Blogging A-Z Challenge for April 2018. I will be posting new content every day this month except most Sundays. Each post is associated with a letter of the alphabet, starting with A and ending with Z. My theme for the challenge is Winters in Maine. To read more of my A to Z posts, click HERE.
I love the trails of snow over bridges.

I’m always taking pictures of wooden paths and bridges covered in snow. They look so pretty.

I am officially sharing your blog with my husband–this is right up his alley! He loves the Hut to Hut trails in the winter. I don’t think he’s done any of these!

We got snow today! Although temps are warming up, so it melts as soon as it lands.

Very cool. Or cold. I enjoy hiking, but don’t know if I’d want to hike in that weather!
Thanks for visiting my blog!

I used to take walks in the snow when we lived in Michigan. Nothing so strenuous as a hike. Living in Georgia now and a few inches of snow is a blizzard here.

I’ve been in the south when they got a freak snowstorm and everything closed down. The driving was especially scary as people drove either too slow or too fast. There were cars off the road everywhere. It makes sense though because they’re not used to dealing with that kind of weather. Unfortunately, we get lots and lots of practice driving in the snow.

We picked up hiking about 3-4 years ago and now we hike almost every weekend. It’s a lot of fun.

I don’t anymore. I had a bad accident on black ice a few years ago so I’d prefer to pass on another one. Make up for it the rest of the year.

I actually got a concussion this year from a slip on black ice. It was scary. I can understand being hesitant.

Those look like beautiful trails to hike in the summer or fall. I am not a cold and snow winter person anymore. I do love pictures of snow, though, and yours are fantastic. Fore River Sanctuary and Fuller Farm look especially nice.
