Mt. Blue...Tumbledown?

[hikes-with-him]

Looking to take the kidos hiking this weekend. We would like to do Mt. Blue or Tumbledown.

Looking for snow/ice conditions on these two...anything left on the trails? The kids do NOT have footware that could handle snow/ice so we need either snow free or just about...with snow that could be detoured around.

I know that the Mt. Blue access road will be opened by Saturday...but, what about the one to Tumbledown?

Thanks for the info

I don't know about snow, but the Brook trail can be VERY wet in the spring.

i was very near those peaks last Saturday (on Saddleback 2590', near Wilton)--i bushwacked up the North side and there was no snow anywhere to be seen--i can't imagine that the road that runs past Tumbledown would be other than OK--it's much bigger/better/more used than the last stretch of road to Mt Blue

Last week I heard first hand that the trail up to Tumbledown Pond was snow free.

No snow on Saddleback? We were there about two weeks ago...4 feet of snow above the campground..

or do you mean no snow to be seen on Mt. Blue?

no snow on north side of Saddleback 2590'(peak 2590 feet) which is about 8 miles NW of Jay on the road to Weld (and toward Tumbledown)--NOT Saddleback ski/AT mountain
