Whitten Woods - South Peak, Whitten Woods - North Peak
Ashland, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Main Junction Trail
Route: Main Junction Trail, South Peak Trail, North Peak Trail
Sloppy shoulder season conditions. About half a foot of snow fell last night, which immediately started melting due to unfrozen ground (down to about 1-2" at this point when not on existing snowpack).
Out and back to South Peak was slushy with some bare ground and mud, as well as a few hidden slush ice areas in the shade. Beautiful views from South Peak this afternoon, particularly of Squam.
The west side of the North Peak Trail was particularly sloppy with mud on the woods road portion and some foot deep snow on the north side of the peak.
Skis or snowshoes probably would have been ideal this morning, but it's too sloppy at this juncture for those. May be a little rough if it sets up overnight due to all of the divets.
