Mount Washington — Friday, Apr. 18, 2025

Took advantage of the 70 degree weather. Plenty of parking but at least 15 cars in the lot. Saw about 20 people on the trail.

First half mile is basically a gravel access road. After that elevation kicks off and most of the climb is loose rocks. Around 3 miles in still patches of snow covering trail and some traction gear is helpful. Last .5 mile is pretty brutal climb especially over snow but views at top were incredible. Spotted a pika around some rocks as well.

Highly recommend in spite of the rocky ascent if it’s a clear day, because the payoff is stellar. Would not recommend on overcast or rainy days.
