Early morning Saturday offers the clearest sky and most stable conditions before the Sunday secondary low arrives. Start at first light to maximize the dry window. Avoid Sunday afternoon and Sunday night entirely due to the incoming mixed precipitation storm with thunderstorm potential. Monday may offer improvement but verify updated forecasts before committing.

“My last couple of visits to Cabot have been in winter conditions, so I had forgotten how rocky, muddy and wet the trail can be. But spring flowers, quiet woods and bird songs made for a pleasant hike today.”
Trail: Gates Brook Trail, Yellow Trail, Red Trail, Blue Trail, Austin Brook Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“I started on Gates Brook Trail, then crossed Mt. Crag on Yellow Trail. Great view at the top of Mt. Crag for very little effort. I continued east on Yellow Trail, used the cable car to cross Austin Brook, then climbed Mt. Cabot on Red Trail. Another great view up there. After descending on Blue Trail, I backtracked on Yellow Trail to the junction with Austin Brook Trail. I headed north on Austin Brook Trail, then walked the entire length of Gates Brook Trail to get back to my car. Pros: Two great views and a cable car. Cons: My route took me past the sites of some recent logging operations. Lots of visible cuts and piles of slag. So it's not the most pristine forest in the region.”
