Late May through October; avoid black-fly peak in late May. Being this far north (lat 44.781°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly. At 29.9 miles from the Inn, block the full day — sunrise start, late return, packed meals. Conditions at Sweat Meadows track the nearby Mountain Pond lake (0.8 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
