Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
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.

Directions to trailhead: Take Route 11 West from US 4 to Wilmot Flat, then take a left onto Old Winslow Road. At the end of this road, take a left onto Kearsarge Mountain Road. In early spring, there is room for a few vehicles to park near the gate of the auto road at the height of land (Twist Hill Road continues downhill). The Winslow Trail trailhead is at the top of the gated auto road.
