20 Winter Hiking Photos to Inspire You to Brave the Elements
Winter’s here! And although it may be a tad blizzardy to hit the trail right now, when the chaos settles, a wonderful winter wonderland will be whispering your name.
And in case an alliterative sentence isn’t enough to convince you, we reached out to Appalachian Trials nation to share some of their spectacular winter shots to better persuade.
They are below, enjoy!

Everyone and every place and everything that I have been reading for the past several months is so awe inspiring for me. I am just doing a Section Hike, probably beginning in late February or March 1st. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR INSPIRING ME TO DO THIS!
