Trails Used

Doublehead Mountain Ski Trail, Old Trail, New Trail

Trail Conditions

Wet TrailWet/Slippery Rock

Notes

Quick loop over the Doubleheads after finishing up Kearsarge North. Everything is wet, but the rain consolidated the eroded sections pretty well, and I did not have any trouble aside from needing to take care to get down New. I went up the Old Trail and down the New Trail, which made for significantly more of an adventure than avoiding the New Trail would have. As can be expected, there's no snow or ice remaining at all--not even a little stray flurry with today's weather. I wish there had been a view! The ledges on South looked pretty neat!

New Path, Old Path, Ski Trail

Trail Conditions

Dry TrailWet/Slippery RockMud - Minor/Avoidable

Notes

Trails are in good shape. Some nice view ledges on both South and North peaks. The bottom of Ski Trail is a bit wet, but not muddy. Both Old and New Path climb steeply straight up, and as such are a bit rocky and gravelly.

Parking

No parking at New Path. Free parking at Ski Trail, road walk about 1/4 mile.

Water Crossings

The only crossing is bridged
