Wildcat D, Wildcat C, Wildcat B, Wildcat A
Pinkham's Grant, NH, Bean's Grant, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down one of the ski trails on the way to Wildcat D
Route: Ski trails, Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat D), Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat C), Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat B), Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat A), Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat B), Wildcat Ridge Trail, (Wildcat C), Wildcat Ridge Trail, bushwhack, ski trails
Trails were wet and muddy in places from yesterday's rain but mild temperatures got rid of any snow or ice. Did the short bushwhack to avoid reclimbing D on the way back, as well as another experimental bushwhack toward the Thompson Brook Trail drainage (bad footing caused us to cancel going all the way into it).
Nicer weather than expected with good views of the Presidentials in the morning.
