Trip Report
Meany Lodge Snowshoe - peaks to the west of the Sno-Park
At the end of the snowshoe, there was some questions about the two peaks visible to the west of the parking lot at the Sno-Park. Based on the compass bearings I shot, I believe the peak on the left is Tinkham Peak - East and the peak on the right was Silver Peak.

We had great weather for this snowshoe trip to Meany Lodge with sunny skies and the temperature around 8 degrees with only an occasional breeze. The trail was well marked with only 2 inches of fresh powder atop about 50 inches of snow pack. This was my first trip here so I really didn't know what to expect. Overall, it was good experience but the pace was a little faster than expected. We arrived at Meany Lodge in about 2 hours, covering 3.5 miles along the way. After soup and sandwiches for lunch, we departed Meany Lodge at 1:30 pm and returned to the Sno-Park around 3:30 pm taking a slightly different route. Overall, this is a beautiful area to explore in the winter and I encourage others to give this a try. The folks at Meany Lodge are courteous and always welcoming.
