"The temps were pretty hot (80s) at the trailhead but much cooler in the forest and at elevation. Still had a very steamy and sticky feel. Never got a great cooling breeze at the top. Hit Avalon on the way up and Tom on the way down." — Alohabuffy • Jul 5, 2023
"Embarked from the trailhead at the AMC Highland Center around 7:45 am. Microspikes weren't enough, had to put on snowshoes right away to pack down the freshly coated trail. Steep ascent from the start to hit the first peak (Avalon). A hazy and cloudy morning led to limited views at each of the peaks, albeit plenty of lookouts at each of the summits. The sun came out eventually, but the lower clouds remained all day. After Avalon, we made our way through Field to Willey, back through Field and over to Tom. Plenty of hikers on the trail today, fed a few Gray Jays along the way too. Sliding down the steep parts on the way back to the trailhead made the return easier (and fun). Gained 4200 ft in elevation in 9.9 miles over 7 hours." — gregoryskiba • Jan 22, 2023
"A hike with Molly and Denise for their Grid's. We went up Tom first, then over Field, then Willey. We doubled back over Field, and down the Avalon Tr. I took a butt injury while butt sledding down Avalon Tr. " — newenglandwarrior • Mar 14, 2021
"A Tom, Field, Willey kind of day to help out a couple of friends with their needs. We hiked up Tom first from Crawford Notch, then went over to Field and Willey, then doubled back to Field and down the Mt Avalon Tr. While butt sledding down the Mt Avalon Tr, I hit a tree route, making my butt cheek sore. Not the best day for views but still a good hike. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 6, 2021
"Group hike up the easy A to Z trail. Cold but not like across the notch on the presidentials. A pair of camp robbers visited us at the summit, but since it was too cold to enjoy lunch they left having only pilfered a few peanuts and raisins. Another 4000er for most, the dogs’ first one.

"A nice sunny day in the mountains. Zero degrees at the trailhead but around 20 atop the ridge. But no wind was a really nice deal. Not quite enough snow to wear snowshoes on all the terrain. So some shoes and some spikes. Great views from Willey, Field and Avalon." — Alohabuffy • Dec 19, 2020
"The three of us visited the summits of these three peaks to bring Tom up to 18 of the 48, working his way toward completing the 115. A glorious day despite a low cloud cover, canceling all views, and the occasional light rain. With recent rain and the melting of earlier snowfall the trails were turned into mini-streams and we had numerous little “ponds” to navigate through. Red lined the Kedron Flume and Willey range trails in the process." — Nimblefoot • Oct 20, 2020
"Couldn't have asked for a better first hiking trip into the Whites. Everything was perfect from the mountains to the weather and especially the company. I will be returning and I will be returning often." — Right-On • Aug 1, 2020
"Climbed with my daughter Kelly, her first 4000 footer. Hoped for some sun but it was cloudy and rainy most of the day with a few sunny breaks. The view from Mt. Tom is nearly non-existent now with the tree growth. Relatively slow going up and back due to the wetness." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 10, 2019
"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains. Pour cette série je voulais faire Avalon, Willey, Field et ensuite arriver sur Tom pour le coucher du soleil. La journée était parfait pour cela. Aucun nuage, ni rien! Et finalement, à mon arriver sur Tom, des gros nuages se sont mis de la partie. Donc je suis repartis sans avoir de photo de coucher de soleil.... Mais j'ai mes 4 sommets! :)" — fsoucy76 • Sep 27, 2018
