Looking up the Winslow Trail Route: Auto road, Winslow Trail, (Mt. Kearsarge), Winslow Trail, Barlow Trail, auto road For the second hike of the day, we headed up to Mt. Kearsarge. With the state park access road still gated, we did the mile or so roadwalk up to the summer trailhead, then headed up the Winslow Trail. While there were patches of snow and ice, the trail was generally snow free. With the skies now mostly clear, the views from the top were excellent in all directions. For the descent, we took the Barlow Trail which, though longer, was much more scenic than the Winslow Trail. Hike Ratings Getting To Trailhead: Moderate Destination: Mt.
