Still plenty of snow in the Greens this year: https://www.greenmountainclub.org/20...n-is-here-but/

I'm planning a weeklong hike on the northern section of the trail the first week of July. Is this a significant snow year? I've hiked the trail many times in August and September so July will be the earliest I've done it. Just curious if I'll end up with even more mud to contend with.
Nope, just a cold, late Spring.Quote:

Ah. Well I've hiked in 2015 and 2017 and the trail wasn't terribly muddy. Worst was the area just south of Camel's Hump. Hopefully I get a week or two of dry stuff right before I hike.
