The narrow window of clearing Saturday night into early Sunday morning offers the best chance for a summit — conditions are improving with high pressure briefly building, and the long daylight (over 15 hours) provides timing flexibility. Plan an early Sunday start to summit and descend well before the secondary low arrives Sunday afternoon, which will rapidly deteriorate conditions with freezing rain and potential thunderstorms. Avoid hiking Sunday afternoon or Sunday night entirely.
Trail: Liberty Spring Trail, Flume Slide Trail, Franconia Ridge Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Great weather and overall great hike. First time up flume side trail, it wasn't that wet, but the rocks were slick with the minimal moisture that was there. A few sketchy sections that were damp and didn't have good hand holds but definitely passable!”
Trail: Lincoln Woods Trail, Osseo Trail, Franconia Ridge Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Amazing trail conditions. Very green down low and beautiful views from all the viewpoints. Only saw 3 others on trail today. Little swampy section after the ladders but avoidable. No snow. First time on the trail and the ladders aren’t bad at all.”
Trail: Lincoln Woods Trail, Osseo Trail, Franconia Ridge Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Beautiful day with comfortable temperatures. Views from the Downlook and the perch above the ladders, not to mention from the crag at the Flume Slide junction and the summit were terrific! No summer haze so western views extended to the Green Mountains. A couple trilliums were flowering along Osseo Brook just after starting up the Osseo Trail.”
