At the start of last year, my friends Prasad and Jack and I went north into Virginia chasing a snow forecast to hike. The goal never materialized, freezing rain kept falling and sticking to the trees as we drove around in search of a hike with snow, and we even witnessed a crash as we were driving in the hazardous conditions.

In order to get something out of the day, we decided to hike Sharp Top since it was at an intersection with the Blue Ridge Parkway and therefore accessible despite the closure of the parkway itself. The trail was entirely covered in miles of muddy ice as well as a thick layer of fog, but our microspikes allowed us to get up safely. The top was foggy with no views, and we decided why not wait another 5 or 10 minutes just to see what happens. And boy did something happen. The fog lifted, revealing the beautiful valley and a wave of clouds crashing over a distant ridge (pics 3 and 4), as well as a glory, a circular rainbow that can sometimes be seen off mountain peaks (pics 1 and 2). What. A. Day.

Kidney-leaved Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia grandifolia) is one of the most beautiful flowers found in North Carolina, with lines drawn onto it that almost make it seem as if it is made of stained glass. This plant only occurs in the mountains of the Southeastern United States and grows in bogs and seepage slopes. I don't think anyone has done any surveys to determine the impact of Hurricane Helene on their populations, but I hope that they are all doing ok.

Took a chance on the snow. Drove out to the Tye River near the mountains, to an old abandoned rail bed converted to a trail. A place I knew was shaded deep in the ravine. Shushed along for miles and never saw another person. Just animal tracks.

Well, just one. As I loaded up, got the traditional one finger wave from a farmer hauling rolls of hay out to his Angus, stoic in snow covered fields.

A peaceful winter trail winding through a forested area. The snow-covered path has ski tracks, suggesting recent activity and adding a sense of motion to the still scene. On the left, moss-covered rocks rise alongside the trail, their green hue contrasting with the white snow. Bare trees line both sides of the trail, their branches reaching toward the clear blue sky. To the right, a river is visible, reflecting the serene winter landscape. The composition captures the tranquility and beauty of a crisp winter day in the outdoors.
A serene winter landscape featuring a snow-covered riverbank with bare trees scattered throughout. The river flows gently in the middle of the image, with its dark water creating a contrast to the bright white snow. The trees, devoid of leaves, stretch upwards against a clear, vibrant blue sky, adding a sense of openness and tranquility to the scene. The sunlight casts long shadows of the trees on the snow, and there is a faint silhouette of a person or photographer's shadow in the foreground, adding a human touch to the natural environment.
A close-up view of a wintery forest detail, highlighting a snow-covered mossy rock face. The bright green moss contrasts beautifully with the white snow, showcasing nature's resilience in the cold. Icicles hang from the edge of the moss-covered rock, glistening in the light and adding an element of frozen beauty. Below the rock, a layer of dry, brown leaves is visible, peeking through the snow. Sparse vegetation and small twigs complete the composition, creating a tranquil and detailed snapshot of the wintry forest floor.
