Conditions summary as of August 28, 2026
Mild, low-wind conditions with no exposure hazards make this a comfortable summer hike on Eastman Mountain. Trails may have some lingering mud and wet rock from recent light rain, but nothing severe is reported. Overcast skies persist but precipitation chances are low for the next couple of days.
Expect a modest temperature drop of about 4-5°F from trailhead to summit with slightly breezier conditions higher up; a light long-sleeve layer for the summit should be sufficient given the mild forecast.
Best Hiking Window
Early morning start Saturday (around sunrise, 6:00 AM) offers the coolest temps and best chance of dry trail before any afternoon showers develop; Friday afternoon through evening is also a solid option given low precip odds.

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Beautiful day for these two. SBT is a nice ascent as is EMT. Summit of Eastman does have nice views between brush and trees. Baldface Knob has views for days. Nice gradual descent to Slippery Brook Road, part of which seems quite wild but easy to follow. The remaining part of the trail is actually a forest road. It was nice chatting with a familiar hiker this morning at the trailhead. 52/52 WAV”
Trail: Slippery Brook Trail, Eastman Mountain Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Went in from the back (Bartlett/Conway) side today. Didn't see another soul until we hit Eastman. The less-traveled part of Slippery Brook Trail was surprisingly well-maintained. It must get more traffic than it saw today (just us). It's a nice alternative way into Eastman and the Baldfaces.”
Trail: Baldface Circle Trail, Slippery Brook Trail, Eastman Mountain Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery, Snow/Ice - Small Patches
“No snow or ice on the Baldface Circle Trail nor the Slippery Brook Trail. Only 3 small patches of snow on the Eastman Mountain Trail. These patches were at most, 3 feet by 1 foot. Easily crossed without traction. The trails had some mud that often had rocks to keep the boots out of the muck. It appeared that most of the mud was not deep. There were many moose deposits on the Eastman Trail. Easy to avoid stepping into the droppings. I did not see the moose. There are some views from the hardwood forest that will disappear in a few weeks. Saw a few yellow violets in bloom on the Slippery Brook Trail and a Trillium with all white petals (no violet color) off the Baldface Circle Trail. Stopped down to Emerald Pool to see the green colored water and the water flowing through the cleft in the rock above the pool. Great views from the summit that is marked by a large cairn.”
