There’s still time for a fall hike, but getting to the trailhead may look different as the season winds down.

Some park access roads and gates close in early November, and many parks become unstaffed while the trails remain open. Before you go, check the schedule for more info about the park you are planning to visit.

It’s that time of year when we close the Sherman Adams Building at the summit of Mount Washington for the winter season. Hikers should take note that services, restrooms, or shelter are no longer available and should plan accordingly.

While the building at the top may be closed, our partners at the Mount Washington Auto Road and Cog Railway still offer trips up the mountain, weather depending. Please visit their pages for details: Mt. Washington Auto Road & Mount Washington Cog Railway

Some of the best foliage is explored on two wheels.

Our statewide multi-use trail system offers rides for all skill levels, from technical mountain biking to family-friendly rail trails.

Before you head out, keep a few fall riding tips in mind:

🍂Watch for wet leaves, which can make the trail slippery and hide obstacles like roots and rocks
⏱️Plan your route with shorter daylight hours in mind
🌧️Check trail conditions and give muddy trails time to dry

Last call for camping under the foliage!

Many of our campgrounds are open through Oct. 24, so there’s still time for another day of leaf-crunching hikes, another night spent around a crackling fire and another morning of warm coffee and misty mountain views.

With the weather forecast calling for snow, ice and high winds, the Sherman Adams summit building at Mount Washington State Park is closed for the season as of October 16th.

Hikers should be aware that there will be no shelter/services/amenities available. Visit the Mount Washington Observatory for higher summits forecast and use these resources to plan ahead and hike responsibly: Wildly Responsible NH & HikeSafe

We would like to thank everyone from all over the world who came to visit us and to our summit partners for a great season!

Peak fall colors are reaching the Monadnock Region, and Mount Monadnock is one of the best places to see them.

It’s our busiest time of the year, and that means the park will reach capacity. Secure your spot by making a reservation online at the link below or by calling (877) 647-2757.

Once you’ve made your reservation, make sure you’re prepared for the hike. Mount Monadnock’s trails are steep and rocky, and fall conditions can change quickly throughout the day.

🌦️Bring layers and rain gear
🍎 Pack plenty of water and snacks
🥾Wear sturdy hiking shoes
🍂Watch your footing on the way down. Fallen leaves, acorns and wet rocks can be slippery.

And just a reminder, pets are not allowed at Mount Monadnock. Miller State Park is a great pet-friendly alternative for your four-legged friends to enjoy the views (and all the sniffs).
