Title: Franconia Ridge - White Mountains, New Hampshire
Description: Snow covered scree walls along the Appalachian Trail (Franconia Ridge Trail) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire during the winter months. Scree walls are built on the edge of trails to discourage hikers from going off trail. Building these small walls helps protect the fragile alpine habitat.
