Conditions summary as of October 7, 2026
Cool, dry autumn conditions with no recent precipitation, but gusty winds and a wind chill near the upper teens to high 20s make for a chilly hike, especially on exposed ledges near the top. Daylight is limited to about 11.5 hours, so plan an early start and be off the trail well before sunset. Wednesday looks like the better of the next two days, with milder temperatures and only a small chance of precipitation.
Conditions are only slightly colder at the summit than the trailhead (roughly 34-43°F vs 36-45°F), but winds strengthen noticeably with height, dropping wind chill to the upper teens. The freezing level sits near summit height at the low end of the range, so start with a warm layer and add a shell for the upper ledges and summit.
Best Hiking Window
Wednesday mid-morning to early afternoon, after overnight frost has burned off and winds ease slightly; finish well ahead of the early evening sunset. Thursday trends toward rain, so avoid it if possible.

Trail: Attitash Trail, Moat Mountain Trail, Diana's Bath Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Traverse hike, with car shuttle, from Bear Notch Road to Diana's Baths. It had been years since we had visited this trail. We enjoyed the solitude and sections less visited. Ending at Diana's Baths allowed for us to soak our tired feet and knees in cold water before returning home. Fun day with Karen, Ken, and Fyvie.”
Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“The trail is easy to follow all the way from Table to Big Attitash (BA). It could use some brushing in many areas, but has no “car wash” sections, yet. A trail runner training for the Jigger Johnson race nearly scared the life out of me as I was returning to Table from BA. I’d not seen a soul the entire hike and then he came whipping around a corner unseen and unheard until he wasn’t. He was very kind and took a moment to chat briefly (pretty sure he was just making sure I wasn’t going to go into cardiac arrest) and during this brief moment, mentioned how wild/rugged the woods/trail are between Table and BA. It was well said. This section are woods consistently varying between hardwoods, softwoods and a mix the entire 2.5 mile stretch to the BA summit. The bog just before the summit was wet today. Gaia had this OAB at 9 miles and 2600’ feet of gain.”
Trail: Attitash Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail
“One car upon arrival, two others upon return to lot. All parked strategically. Saw four humans today and one doggo. Blue bead lily in flower and lots of happy birds singing in the woods. Nice little waterfall right now about a half mile in.”
