Blue Mountain: A winter landscape

Arriving at the summit of Blue Mountain when I hiked it in early December was a spectacular sight. Bellow the summit was a typical Adirondack day— Cold, Gray, and Snowy. However, the last 200' before the summit I began to climb above the clouds. By the time I got to the summit I was completely above the clouds revealing a spectacular sight. Pictured here is the fire tower encrusted in snow and ice.
