Mt. Tripyramid (North Peak), Mt. Tripyramid (Middle Peak), Mt. Tripyramid (South Peak)
Waterville Valley, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Livermore Road/Trail
Route: Livermore Road/Trail, Mt. Tripyramid Trail, (Mt. Tripyramid North Peak), Mt. Tripyramid Trail, (Mt. Tripyramid Middle Peak), Mt. Tripyramid Trail, (Mt. Tripyramid South Peak), Mt. Tripyramid Trail, Livermore Road/Trail
Livermore Road was smooth and dry. Noted some recent work between the loop junctions, as well as some flagging suggesting more.
North slide slabs were greasy from overnight fog/dew. A bit tricky to ascend, and potentially dangerous to descend. Easier going in the higher elevations.
Trail was mostly dry between the peaks, though the steep descent off Middle is very nasty with advanced erosion, herd paths, and entire trees falling down by their destroyed rootballs.
South slide was very dry, making it a bit tricky in places (e.g. loose dirt and rock). Flats below it were mostly dry and the stream crossings relatively easy.
Nice foliage in the valley below north. Higher elevation birches are close to peak. Hobblebush on the flats below south nice and red. Other foliage is spotty, but still generally green.
