Best Bet: Read the full Mount Washington Observatory Higher Summits Forecast and Mount Washington Avalanche Center Forecast for an overview of weather, mountaineering and avalanche hazards currently found on Mount Washington’s trails. The Tuckerman Ravine Trail and Huntington Ravine Trail are challenging mountaineering routes and especially exposed to certain hazards. The Lion Head generally offers a safer route to the summit. Please call the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center or visit the Avalanche Center webpage to determine whether the Summer or Winter Lion Head Trail is currently open and to learn about the latest conditions.
Remember—It’s important to prepare for anything when out in the backcountry. Even if it feels like summer in the valleys, it can be cold and winter-like on the high peaks. The right clothing and gear are essential in the unpredictable weather of the Northeast’s mountains. Before you head out on your adventure, be prepared for severe conditions regardless of season. Pack the 10 essentials and be sure to bring extra layers (including synthetic or wool base and insulating layers, and a windproof/waterproof outer shell), eat high energy foods, and stay hydrated on your trip. Careful planning with adequate supplies will help keep you and your party safe on the trail and assure a fun and adventurous time in the outdoors. If you are ever in doubt, turn around – the mountain will always be there for your return adventure.
