Best time to visit
Accessible May through November in most years. Being this far north (lat 44.331°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly. At 35.5 miles from the Inn, block the full day — sunrise start, late return, packed meals. Conditions at Mount Martha track the nearby Cherry Mountain summit (essentially adjacent) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
