I posted this over on HF and didn't get any good suggestions so I thought I would give WB a try.
Not sure why, but I am having problems coming up with a place to go hiking over Thanks Giving. The only criteria is it needs to be a half days travel from New Orleans. There is no good hiking close, so I already accept it will be a plane ride and a rental car away. Plus I am looking for some fun in the snow.
Any suggestions on some spots to hit up? I'm looking for places within a 3 or 4 hour drive of a major airport. Hopefully involving snow. I'm headed with a friend from Norway and our winter gear is collecting too much dust in the deep south. I have been eyeing snow shoes for a few years now, so needing a pair for the deep snow isn't an issue. I feel comfortable sleeping below zero so temps aren't a concern. I don't have the technical experience for anything too sketchy so I would like to stay away from anything involving more than hiking.
Thanks in advance.
