Best Hiking Window

Wednesday evening conditions are passable but wet. Thursday brings the highest rain probability (61%) and should be avoided. The best opportunity in the 48-hour window is early Wednesday evening if departing promptly, or waiting until later Friday when fog may begin to lift — though trails will remain muddy throughout.

Snowshoes

Trail: Mt. Kinsman Trail, Bald Peak Spur

Conditions: Snow - Unpacked Powder

“Great day on Bald Peak. Snowshoes were very helpful, especially on the .2 up to the summit. Trail could use some more snowshoe action to pack down, last .2 to the summit was very loose snow. Trail is well marked and signs are easy to read and understand. Parking lot is plowed enough for several cars but snowy. We were in a truck with 4WD and had no issue but smaller cars etc might have more of a challenge.”

Snowshoes

Trail: Mt. Kinsman Trail, Bald Peak Spur

Conditions: Snow - Unpacked Powder

“Foot traffic on these trails today was a mix of snowshoes, bare boots, and spikes. With a few inches of new snow on the ground, I went with snowshoes round-trip. More snowshoe love is needed to help set up a good track. Warming temps caused snow to ball up under the 'shoes on the way down. Low cloud cover obscured the views today but the forest was beautiful with the new snow. Good to chat with several friendly hikers long the way.”

Light Traction

Trail: Mt. Kinsman Trail, Bald Peak Spur

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Ice - Breakable Crust

“This is a great hike that's not a biggie and very suitable for wintertime. Nice trail conditions on the hike. Plenty of snow coverage, with no bare spots. Micro spikes the whole way, which did perfectly on the fairly hard snow and the couple of icy spots. This route doesn't really have any overly-steep sections, although having said that, the optional spur to Kinsman Flume is tricky. Bald Peak has plenty of views at the top to enjoy.
