The Snow Hole is a crevasse in the Taconic Mountains of eastern New York, on the ridge between Bald Mountain and White Rock, known for a deep rocky opening where snow lasts far longer than in the surrounding landscape and often remains all year at the bottom. Located along the Taconic Crest Trail north of Petersburgh Pass, it is sometimes mistaken for a nearby summit of the same name on some maps, but the true feature is the crevasse itself. Long visited, it preserves engraved names and dates, including carvings from the 19th century, and has been noted as a nivation hollow that may have sheltered cold-adapted plants and small fauna.
