Summary: I discovered the only thing more beautiful than hiking the Appalachian Trail through Harriman State Park is hiking it in a foot and a half of snow! All the old familiar landmarks covered in dramatic icicles and a thick blanket of white! Island Pond was awe-inspiring covered in ice. We were the first people since the big snow storm to hike through the Lemon Squeezer. (Human that is, there were many, many deer and bear tracks) We took the AT to it's junction with the Long Path and the LP to Arden Valley Rd. From there it's a short walk to the path which leads to the Bradley Mine. The Mine was beyond words! Huge columns of ice, a deep blue in color contrasted the reddish iron rich walls. This hike is great in the spring or summer, but spectacular in the winter!!!
