The White Mountains (NH) in beginning to mid April?

Whites are a big area… did you have an idea of the trails you wanted to do.. day hike.. overnight?

There is still snow. snowshoes are probably recommended and microspikes possibly depending on how packed down or windswept it is.

a blog i follow that does a LOT of hiking weekly with great pictures to show what it looks like.

I was thinking a few days (two overnighters). I haven't narrowed down the area yet. My past experience in the Whites is mostly in connection with Mt. Washington and the immediate area around same. But i don't have any interest in summitting on this trip. Considering the still very winter like conditions, i don't have enough experience or tools to focus on that.

Thanks for the feedback Jake and for the link.

Something over at Kinsman-kinsman pond, Canon could be fun? Kinsman pond shelter is really nice. those skis would be pretty good for some spots.. snowshoes are still recommended though.

…cold be a real mess, if this weird weather keeps up.
there are a few forums that get a lot of traffic and tend to have reliable information about trail conditions and a wealth of local knowledge. Three I like are

as your date gets close you ought to be able to get some usable info there, and then adjust your destination north/south and up/down to find something fun.

Thank you for the further suggestion Jake.

Yup, agreed Richard, looking potentially dicey in some of those parts around the projected time frame.

If it was a group thing, i would be more apt to try it, but it's a solo trip and i have no wish to be visiting me dear Mom just yet. I might just try a day hike and see how it goes/feels from there.

Thank you for the links

Can also look up the "52 with a view" they are all under 4k but with good views.
