Early morning Saturday offers the most viable window — skies are clearing overnight into Sunday morning with high pressure briefly building in. Aim for a pre-dawn or early morning start Saturday to take advantage of improving conditions before the Sunday secondary low arrives. Avoid Sunday afternoon and Sunday night entirely due to the incoming mixed-precipitation storm with thunderstorm potential.

“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!”

“Awesome pemi this morning-started at 2:45 to minimize heat, bugs, and potential afternoon thunderstorms. Saw fewer than twenty hikers all day (no other trail runners), and had every summit minus Liberty to myself! Strong winds and big old clouds kept it comfortable until the eight mile run down from Bondcliff, which felt like I was running through hell it was so dang hot with minimal leaf coverage in the hardwoods. Leave the spikes at home! There was one stretch of stubborn unavoidable snow just before breaking treeline on Guyot. It only lasted five minutes. It was reported that the Zealand-Guyot stretch is still deep and nasty as of this morning. Top of Garfield and West Bond essentially all melted out. Get it before the LW closure!!!”
