Trail Conditions report as of Wednesday, October 28th 🏔️

'The hike up was in good condition overall. Amphibrach especially had a ton of fallen leaves and trees are bare enough that you really have to follow the blazes.'

Report written by our Fall Caretaker & TC member Max Buttrill after his hike up to Gray K**b on Monday, October 26th.

As we enter shoulder season down low, be prepared for changing conditions up high. There may be light glaze frosting on rocks and the higher summits may see some mixed precipitation this weekend. Be vigilant for the onset of winter up high and carry microspikes for the higher summits!

*Please note that trail conditions can change quickly in the Northern Presidential Range. The conditions shared on this page may have changed since they were recorded. Always be prepared with proper gear and check the Mount Washington Higher Summits Forecast Mount Washington Observatory when planning to travel in higher terrain.

Trail report as of Wednesday, October 21st 🏔️

'Most leaves have dropped on the lower elevation trails so be mindful that loose rocks and roots are much harder to spot. Some sections are harder to grip with all that loose litter, be prepared to go slower and watch those ankles!

Approaching the huts there is sporadic ice and snow in cooler hallows totaling up to a quarter inch in some areas. Due to increased temps, this precipitation is rapidly melting causing puddles and water pooling that should keep the trails soaked for several days even with dry weather conditions. Above treeline conditions are similar with areas of shade containing half inch of melting snow/ice. I recommend bringing spikes incase you encounter a section that warrants them. Due to the inconsistent coverage and melting I did not use any traction to thunderstorm junction today. Your milage may vary.

While descending the going is slow due to wet rocks, sporadic icing and loose heavy leaves. Plan accordingly for increased time getting down.'

Trail report as of March 27th ❄️
Snow and cold temperatures have returned on the mountain, with a fresh blanket of white! Although the snowpack is much reduced, trails at higher elevations have deep, fresh snow that necessitates the use of snowshoes. Be prepared for variable conditions and potentially difficult stream crossings if you are hiking this weekend. Lowe’s Path is especially treacherous at the moment with snow covering hard ice flows.

The Mount Washington Observatory has issued a wind chill advisory in effect from 5pm Friday through 9am Sunday.

The Gray K**b snowstake is at 14”. The snowpack is deeper in places, especially sheltered areas in the trees.

*Please note that trail conditions can change quickly in the Northern Presidential Range. The conditions shared on this page may have changed since they were recorded. Always be prepared with proper gear and check the Mount Washington Higher Summits Forecast when planning to travel in higher terrain.

Trail report as of March 4th 🫠🧊❄️
The recent extended warmup has significantly reduced snowpack on the mountain and created variable conditions at all elevations. Temperatures have fallen back below freezing and firmed up remaining snow. Well-traveled trails have a monorail of hard-packed snow and may have large ice flows as runoff has frozen. Above treeline conditions currently consist of bare rock, ice, and firm snow.

The Mount Washington Observatory has issued a winter weather advisory in effect from 11pm tonight to 2pm Saturday. Heavy snow and high winds are forecasted for tonight, which will significantly alter conditions.

Those hiking this weekend should be prepared for variable trail conditions and potentially difficult stream crossings. Hikers should be prepared with traction such as microspikes or crampons and snowshoes, especially with incoming snowfall.

The Gray K**b snowstake has fallen to 16 inches.

*Please note that trail conditions can change quickly in the Northern Presidential Range. The conditions shared on this page may have changed since they were recorded.
