Saturday morning through early Saturday afternoon offers the best opportunity if skies are clearing as forecast. Avoid Sunday entirely due to the incoming secondary low bringing widespread mixed precipitation, freezing rain, potential thunderstorms, and dangerous icing. Monday (June 1) may offer a window as conditions dry out, though trails will remain wet and muddy.
Trail: Hi-Cannon Trail, Kinsman Ridge Trail, Lonesome Lake Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Gorgeous day in Franconia Notch. Low winds and cool weather; trails were mostly dry with some mud, but not substantial or overwhelming. First time on Hi Cannon in 10 years, high up was less sandy and a little muddier than I remember!”
Trail: Kinsman Ridge Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail
“Erosion aside, trail was in good condition. Plenty of slab with water running on it so take time with your footing, but otherwise no big deal. No snow or ice remain, at least to the overlook. Was there for some astrophotography, did not summit.”
